Reviews
Downstairs at the reception area was all clean, also the toilets downstairs were very clean.
Only downside was, that the room was a bit old (stains on the walls, etc) but I think it’s usual for a hostel . Found some hairs in the bed. Also had to make the 3rd bed ourselves.
Room Cleanliness not happening in a week. When requesting team not updating clearly not considering guest request for Cleaning Toilet, Shower Room.
Towel replacement not giving by staff for the Long stay for a week time.
For a new traveler for 1 day everyday they are changing the Bed covers, providing towels. For a week stay customer not giving. This practice to be changed to help the long stay customers in Dorm Rooms
I like to stay there next year and is cheap
One morning around 7–8 am, someone pretending to be a guest used a room card to open my door. I had just finished washing up when I heard the door unlock. After seeing me inside, the intruder quickly said “sorry” in a very noticeable accent and shut the door. Realising something was wrong, I followed him into the hallway and saw him open the room next door with the same card. The guest in that room also heard the door being opened and rushed out, still half-dressed.
This incident shows that the hotel is extremely unsafe and may even be involved in undisclosed activities. In short, solo female travellers—or anyone travelling alone—should be especially cautious.
