“This hostel strikes me as a mixed bag, where cleanliness and a good location are unfortunately offset by inconsistent service. The showers seem to be a recurring issue, and reports of disruptive guests left unmanaged raise concerns about support. While the common room offers decent amenities and the basics are covered, potential guests should weigh these factors carefully.”
