    Aside from the front desk guy, the rest of the staff was completely helpless and did not speak a word of English. Small breakfast with no drinks included and no way to ask for a coffee even when willing to pay extra.

    Clean and minimalist room with comfortable beds and good AC. Good location near monuments and many restaurants. The guy at the front desk was nice and helpful, he can book transportation for you.

    Nothing

    Had a great stay here, we had a private room which was super comfy and clean, toilets and showers were fine also! The bar downstairs is good, the free beer on arrival is a nice touch. There’s a really good night market for food just located around the corner! We really liked our stay here, it’s a nice modern vibe

    The showers were not as good as the rest of the facilities. But still clean and well maintained. That’s why it’s a 9/10

    1) Lockers should ideally be outside the rooms. At present it is hard to find something in your locker without making a noise or turning on the lights. 2) It's very awkward to get out of a shower or brush your teeth and then walk into a bar customer. Perhaps there should be a bathroom dedicated to bar customers only. 3) It's very difficult to have a shower and get dressed in a shower cubicle. Clean clothes get wet from the shower and a wet floor results into wet trousers. Ideally the bathroom area should be converted into 3 small full bathrooms each with a shower, basin, toilet and small seat. 4) There is enough space in the rooms to have wooden capsules with doors instead of bunkbeds. This would illuminate problem number 1

    Beautiful common space. Clean and well maintained. Comfortable linen. Reasonably comfortable common area. Great food and excellent coffee. Perfectly central. Staff are initially a bit shy but warm-up pretty quickly and are helpful and friendly.

    We shared the (very small) female dorm with 2 15 year olds which was quite unusual.. breakfast was average, we paid extra for this and then we were told it was free. Not worth paying the extra on booking.com IMO. They also charged more than what was on our booking.com confirmation.

    Location is good, air con in the rooms is good and the beds are very comfortable.

    There was no electrics so no lights in the room or working sockets (also no window).

    We didn’t end up staying because there was no electrics on our floor, but it’s a good location and nice inside.
