The worst hostel ever,After i checked in and went to my room and found my bed havent clean and very messy from the previous person I called the staff to come and check they said very sorry and they only changed bed sheet but they brought the messy and used blanket just fold up and they didn’t change the pillows bag at all they did everything while i was standing and looking at them with bad smell of those things I will never ever go there again

Really expensive for what it is. Window in room doesn't even open to get some fresh air, and aircon only works half the time and is out of our control (i.e. staff control the temperature) so when it's a hot day you just have to bear with it. Mattress also smelled like someone had pissed on it.
Receptionists were the slowest people I have ever met. Why does it take nearly half an hour just to check someone in? The receptionist that checked in my friends and I was an extremely slow typer, I've seen my grandma type faster than she did.
This is my second time staying at this backpackers and honestly the quality has gone absolutely downhill. Would not recommend. Check out some of the other backpackers nearby

Awesome reception, clean bed, poor hygiene shower room

Absolutely excellent staff;
top location and
really good value.
Pretty basic, though, and h/c basin in room would have made
a huge difference.
Shared bathrooms need more hooks and shelving in shower stalls.

Thanks!

Great location, cheap rate probably due to covid and not many travellers. Had a 6 bed dorm to myself most nights. Was great, there was one window that couldn't be closed which was only annoying as there was construction early in the mornings.

The hostel was pretty run down. The air conditioning and the bed were pretty good. The kitchen had an area with couches and outlets, but it was in the basement. Right at the elevator, there was a foul smell so I didn't want to do my laundry down there. The staff was friendly.

短暫停留一晚,在central station 對面,非常近。reception 24小時開放,check in 及 check out 都方便快捷。衛生及清潔ok。
但這裡的住客似長住,住客在房間內的物件偏多,沒空位打開行李箱。

Positive: Location good- next to central station. The people behind the front desk were nice and helpful though
Negative: Our room was clearly not cleaned before we went in though. Our pillow covers hadn't been changed (old hair/dirt/makeup seen on them when we walked in) so I'm sure other things weren't changed over either.
