My first time staying at this hostel, it was very clean, staff friendly and in a great location for transport, food and shopping. I really liked the finger print entry system for the property and the room. Common area is great and the fact they have a bar open to friends of staying guests is a nice addition too. The beds were comfortable enough but really noisy

Never ever ever have I spent a night in such a warm room - it was like a sauna. Everyone in the room was sweating, melting. We complained to reception but they said the air-con was on. Combined with a 10am check-out, paying for towels and food/drink that isn't that cheap, this hostel needs to make some improvements.
