10/10 Exceptional

We stayed 3 nights. Excellent location. Our room has private washroom. Room is not very big but has everything for travelers. Beds are clean and comfortable. A lot of school kids stayed this facility as well. A lot of restaurants or supermarkets are in the neighborhood.
Jie, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient location close to public transport, heaps of eateries. The open-space in the mìddle of the property is cool and chill to rest. Breakfast is optional and there are several nice cafes nearby to explore.
Le Quan, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very positive vibe. Above average hostel experience. Breakfast buffet is a bit limited. There’s a lot of young people staying here so it’s sometimes noisy.

Great location - easy to get everywhere a close to tram/metro/bus. The building is nice and the rooms are average a you would expect in a hostel.
Marina, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Checking in was easy. Good English spoken. Lobby is very pleasant. Room was clean and above all quiet all night. Shower was lovely. Temperature perfect. Price we paid was really good value. After a reasonably late arrival on a Sunday we found plenty of eating options very nearby.

Weekend bed

It is what it is. Small but adequate rooms, cleaned daily with helpful staff.
Daniel, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Pros - Hotel was in a really handy location close to lots of bars and restaurants. Staff were friendly and we were able to add late checkout to the room for free. The room was clean, however the holder for the shower head was broken so you had to hold the shower head while showering which wasn’t ideal - I assume staff were aware of this issue if the bathroom is cleaned so unsure why this wouldn’t have been fixed. The rooms are very badly soundproofed so you’re woken up all through the night and morning by people getting home and letting doors slam, and the windows to the room face out to the outside walkway so you can hear people loudly talking as well. The aircon also didn’t work so the room was unbearably hot and you couldn’t have the windows open due to the noise. Overall, not a place I would recommend to stay if you are a light sleeper as you won’t get any sleep at all sadly!
Holly, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room was way overpriced.
Cindy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was good (we ordered a private twin, but got a 4-bed to ourselves, so bonus). Cooking facilities quite limited. The laundry was broken but staff were helpful in finding a local laundrette.
Alexander, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice place. Modern finishes. Kind staff. Fantastic price. Booked on Expedia and for a private room for less than I found in Hostelworld. The bed was comfortable and the en suite was luxurious/huge!
