Bed was good, and owner is really friendly, best location travel cause it’s at the starting point of the one way, and bus stop is just near within 30M

This hostel has all the basic services it needs. The room was clean, the washroom was clean. But I really liked the common area on the third floor. If you want to cook for yourself then there is a kitchen that can be used. The location was great and it's in a good neighbourhood. The room was really calm. There is no elevator here, so if you have physical weakness then this is not for you.
