The service was good, the staff was kind, the location was good, and the security was good. However, there were bedbugs near the bed in the accommodation, so I suffered from itching

The kitchen has a microwave and oven for the driver to use. There is a small cabinet and key provided. There are few charging sockets. Large towels are not provided. You can borrow conversion sockets and hair dryers. The street is too noisy at night. The kitchen has a microwave and the oven for the driver to use. There are small cabinets and keys provided.

The hostel itself is stylishly designed with modern amenities and cozy communal areas where I could relax and socialize with fellow travelers. The rooms were clean, spacious, and thoughtfully decorated, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring the vibrant city.

Old house converted to a hostel, but very homy for me. Nice amenities. Had a comfortable night even if it's located beside party places.
