Decent hostel but not highly recommended”

This place has vibrant atmosphere and the location is not bad. However, internet connection is only good at the reception and really slow at places where you sleep. To take a shower you have to press button multiple times so that water doesn’t stop flowing automatically. Water temp. Isnt hot but warm. During my stay water pump got broken in the morning and took hours to get it fixed. No showers for those who had to check out early. It is a decent place to stay with many flaws.

Young crowd”

The hostel is really great. It has fantastic security and facilities. The room was nice and big. However...it's a big party and the crowd is young so expect loud thumping music, thin walls, drunk kids, and Germans having sex in the room next to you. There is nothing wrong with all of that but if you want to sleep and have plans the next day then look elsewhere.
