The room is not clean at all. Some students stay for a long time who keep them dirty. But the hotel

Complimentary breakfast and dinner were excellent!

Josephine · US · 2026-09-12

great location, cost effective, short walk to bus stops to get you to train station

10.0

There was enough space on my side of the room to put my luggage and stuff which was convenient as other hostels I have stayed at have been pretty small in comparison.

− I showed up late in the day to check-in and reception took a while to check me in. The showers near my room were a little small but there were some down the hall that were more spacious.

A Brief 2-Day Stay

10.0

Spacious ground-floor twin room, quiet, big wardrobe, slept well. Good breakfast.

− The pillows need replacing: too thin. Needs touching up with white paint in places (behind the bedhead).
