The hostel is very well located and our room, while basic and somewhat dated, was quite nice: clean sheets, comfortable size, well-lit, aircon, TV, no-frills safe, a big desk table. My mattress was not the best but I had no trouble sleeping either. Staff was always nice and helpful.
The big disappointment was the bathrooms. Firstly, there was only 1 bathroom for a 70-room floor (we were relatively close to it but some rooms were more than 60 meters/200 feet away...). Then, said bathroom had ony 3 stalls and 3 showers. The stalls had one hook to hang stuff but no rest where e.g. leave your keycard or tampons while you tend to your business; there was also no trash cans in the stalls so you had to carry your used higiene product out and use the bin at the oposite corner of the bathroom. One of the stalls did not close/lock. The showers are directly opposite the washbasins i.e. they have NO privacy but a flimsy curtain; no place to leave your stuff save one little hook per shower; water splashes just sit on the floor between showers and basins and ventilation is clearly insufficient which means by the end of the day the place looks disgusting until well into the next day when the one cleaning took place.
Although it was really price-convenient, I'd think long and hard before staying here again as the bathrooms were simply not up to standards.
