Great location in the heart of the city, close to tourist and bus offices, with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. Clean room with comfortable, fluffy pillows, and a quiet atmosphere for a good night's sleep. Hotel felt safe in a generally unsafe area. Homely and welcoming vibe, with friendly and laid-back staff. The bathrooms were also nice and well-maintained.
Didn’t dislike anything about the property.

I recently had a great stay at this hotel in the city center. The location is fantastic, being near several bars which were very loud at night, making it easy to have a fun night out. The value for money was excellent, with affordable prices that didn't break the bank. The staff were friendly and provided good service, making me feel welcome throughout my stay. The basic amenities in the rooms were sufficient for my needs, and I appreciated the attention to detail in terms of cleanliness. Lastly, the breakfast offered was a nice touch, providing a good start to the day.
All was great!

the staff was very friendly and helpful, and they made our check-in process very smooth. the location of the hotel was fantastic, as it was close to many tourist attractions and shopping centers. the hotel had a fully equipped kitchen which was perfect for our budget travel needs.
The shared bathrooms were not ideal, especially when it came to the cleanliness of the facilities. we found that the quality of the TV was not up to par, and unfortunately, we were not able to change the channels.

Good service quality and central location. The staff were courteous and professional and always willing to help. The location was a stone's throw away from the popular Long street and other tourist sites, making it a good base for exploring the city. the rooms were kept neat and tidy.
Noisy rooms and poor amenities. The thin walls made it difficult to sleep without being disturbed by noise from outside or other rooms.

This hostel is situated in a convenient location within the town center and close to various amenities, making it a good base for those who want to explore the city. Despite the area not being the safest, solo travelers have felt secure staying here. Facilities such as air conditioning, staff, and reception have been praised for their quality.
Some guests have found the bathroom facilities to be less than desirable.
