There were no bowls, cups and cutleries so bring your own. Kitchen was no clean and microwave was sooo dirty. If you seek really cheap place, go for it.

The property itself was fun , clean and overall friendly vibe. The bathrooms were surprisingly very clean considering how many people were to 2 toilets and 2 showers. The bedroom i booked had 6 bunks and an aircon ( though I couldn’t feel it at all) neither could the others in the room I suppose because they left the windows open at night for cool air. The room was really hot . I was luckily able to get 6 hours sleep but by 4:45 when the sun was beaming through the room again I was awake . Too hot . Comfortable bunk considering
