Comfy and Cozy

“I stayed in a double bunk room with privacy curtains, which made it feel more personal and secure. The design of the room was great, featuring wooden frames built into the wall that allowed for mattress movement without disturbance. I truly appreciated having individual lights and charging points for my devices. Everything was clean and well maintained, making it the perfect comfortable place to unwind after a long day.” view full review

Relaxing Rooftop Patio

“The rooftop patio was a fantastic experience. I enjoyed sitting in the sun, soaking in the views, and even had the chance to use the barbecue facilities. It's a lovely space to gather and relax after a day of exploring. The vibe was so friendly and inviting; I felt right at home while enjoying some leisurely time with fellow travelers.” view full review

Utility with Improvements Needed

“While the bathrooms were generally clean, I noticed that they could use a bit more maintenance. Some doors slammed loudly, which disrupted the peace at night, especially for those near them. More bathrooms would be beneficial to cater to guests during peak times. I appreciated the cleanliness but hope they'll consider enhancing the privacy with better soundproofing and proper cleaning signage.” view full review

Well-Equipped Kitchen

“The kitchen was spacious and had everything I needed for cooking. It was well-equipped and clean, which made meal prep enjoyable. Plus, there was plenty of seating available where I could enjoy meals while mingling with other guests. It was a great spot to bond over good food and share travel stories.” view full review
