Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It was clean enough for Backpackers, and staff were kind. But there were many things in the fridge. So I couldn’t use it. And because of the neighbors (bar or restaurants), it was noisy until midnight. So I won’t recommend if you are sensitive to noise. Anyway It was good for me.
