The hostel is visually pleasing with many nice corners for photos, however the actual place definitely looks more weary than the photos. Breakfast was enjoyable! Service and enthusiasm from the staff was lacking - during my check-in, there was no welcome, the staff simply photocopied my passport (and forgot to return it to me), then passed me the door token without any explanation or introduction of the place, breakfast, communal spaces etc. Hostels are usually more welcoming and informative. I booked a 3 person private room and the room's cleanliness did not meet expectations. There was a very visible blood stain on my bedsheets, a stranger's strand of hair in my fresh towels, balls of dust in the corners just next to my double bed and the floor was not clean enough to be barefoot. The rooms have terrible sound insulation and you can hear any door that closes (mostly slamming) on the same floor. The worst part was that my room was at the back of the building, a few metres away from a school. In the morning starting from 7am, I can clearly hear children playing and screaming (until noon), teachers making announcements and the national anthem being sung. It was intolerable for a late sleeper like me, so I went to the front desk to complain and request a change of room, however the staff was unsympathetic and gave a blank face throughout before turning me down by saying the hostel was fully booked. I had to bear with this again the next morning as I stayed 2 nights.
