Very quiet but clean place to stay
Good location close to bus and train stops. Clean pod, comfortable mattress and very quiet place to stay. Kitchen facilities were good. Toilets separate from the showers and sinks. I liked the lockers in the rooms which were pretty spacious but bring your own lock. I appreciated being given hangers to hang up some clothes in the pod. The curtain was good for privacy and having a towel provided was great.
As a solo traveller I was hoping to meet other travellers since this is a hostel but that was not going to happen. Everyone kept to themselves, it seemed more like a place people chose to stay to not have to socialise. The bathroom was pretty humid and hot in the summer heat, but thankfully the rooms did have air conditioning. I had a top pod, which lets the light in from other pods because the walls are open to the ceiling. One night the person in the pod next to mine left their personal light on all night which shined into my pod and was super bright and difficult to get to a deep sleep! I'd recommend bringing a sleep mask if you're sensitive to lights, but also, if you get a bottom pod I think it would be super dark inside since it doesn't let light in like the top ones.

I'm very satisfied with the location and the facilities in the room. The supply is sufficient. It is among the top t
The reception from the front desk staff was very reassuring and explained the accommodation precautions in detail. After checking in, I was satisfied with the bed size and storage space. The location is very good and it is convenient to go to any attraction.
The daily cleaning and cleaning is often delayed and slow. The dining area and the trash can are too close and there are many bugs. The exhaust function of the kitchen is very poor. I am inhaling the smell of other people's cooking fumes every night. sleep

I liked the size of the pod beds, good linen. The privacy created by the curtains is so great. Enables you to rest.
The fridge in kitchen is too small for the number of people accommodated. It's sometimes impossible to find where to keep your food.
