    The location of the hotel is excellent, making it easy to explore the nearby attractions. the staff was very helpful and friendly, providing us with great recommendations for places to visit and eat. the breakfast served at the hotel was delicious, offering a wide variety of options to choose from.

    The rooms were quite small and lacked proper ventilation, making it a bit uncomfortable during hot weather. the shared bathrooms were not very clean and could use some improvement in terms of cleanliness and maintenance.

    I had a really great stay at this hotel. the value for money was fantastic. I couldn't believe how affordable it was, especially considering the location. Speaking of which, the hotel is centrally located, with almost everything in walking distance. It's definitely in the best area of the city. Secondly, the service from the staff was top-notch. They were attentive and really went out of their way to make my stay enjoyable. Lastly, the rooms were comfortable and well-equipped. I loved the huge comfy sofa and having the fan on full was perfect for a good night's sleep. The availability of rooms with A/C and private bathrooms was also a nice touch. Plus, having breakfast included was a great perk.

    All was great, no improvements needed.

    Nice rooftop seating with hammocks and a pool. the staff was friendly and helpful in recommending local attractions. the hostel had a good location near popular sights.

    The noise level was high at night, making it hard to sleep. the included breakfast was minimal and not very appealing.

    Spent my New Year's Eve at a hostel and had the greatest experience! The breakfast was perfect and the dinner was amazing. , the pool table gave us endless hours of fun. The location was perfect for exploring, with easy access to the city. What an amazing adventure.

    That we had to share a bathroom with other guests. But that wasn't really a big issue for us since we got our rooms for a great price and we were mostly out exploring the city.

Plus, the room with a shower and A/C was clean and comfortable. And the breakfast that was included in the price was absolutely delicious.

    All in all, I would say I enjoyed my stay without any issues.
