Negative Reviews

negative:

No Wi-Fi in rooms

Multiple reviews mention the Wi-Fi only working in the lobby and common areas on the ground floor of the hostel. Guests feel frustrated that the coverage doesn't extend to the rooms and upper floors of the property.

negative:

Poor quality bunk beds

Bunk beds in the dormitories of this hostel are regularly criticised for their quality and sturdiness. Reviews suggest the ladders of the beds are loose and the beds themselves move a great deal, leading many guests to state they feel unsafe on the beds.

negative:

Dirty and busy guest kitchen

The shared kitchen in this hostel is often described as dirty and not well-maintained, with it getting very crowded in the mornings. Guests state there is regularly a great deal of dirty dishes and work spaces are not wiped down, leaving the prospect of cooking in the kitchen to be not very appealing.
