A typical hostel. The downside is that there is no curtain. It is quite clean. The kitchen only seemed a bit dirty. It is cool that there is a pool and a jacuzzi.

The room was pretty clean, however was left unimpressed when I came across a cockroach in the shower. The space was just alright for the two of us. The breakfast was very basic and they didn't start on time at 7am as advertised.

Very clean room and facilities. Staff were friendly and helpful. Some frustrations with facilities e.g having to use key card for bathrooms each time, no bedside light, lack of air con control only on/off, uncomfortable bed (could feel the mattress springs).
