The place was good, clean bathrooms, friendly staff. Unfortunately though, I didn’t get much sleep due to other people walking around throughout the night talking really loudly. Not your fault. Thanks

Great spot for young travellers on a budget. Rooms and facilities are clean, the pool is a great place to chill, and it’s in the heart of town!

Receptionist was lovely. Property was clean...just very busy, and people were smoking near the entryway, which was a turnoff. I didn’t use the common room or pool. Kitchen was petty gross but it was In the middle of meal time...it was better in the morning so they’d obviously cleaned it up overnight. No aircon in room and it was pretty warm and very humid. Surprisingly quiet.
