“The bunks were super comfortable, and the curtains gave nice privacy. The bar had a fun vibe, and the free welcome drink was a bonus. A bit far from the main sights, but the metro makes getting around easy. I'd definitely come back.”

“The AC in the room was constantly on full blast, making it impossible to sleep. It also blew out dust that made us cough. I barely slept and woke up feeling awful. A nightmare if you're trying to rest.”

“The location is spot on – a short walk to two metro lines and a big grocery store. Common areas are cozy and inviting, perfect for chilling or meeting new friends. The beds are so comfy I felt like I was sleeping on clouds.”
