What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Cozy Bunk Beds

I absolutely loved the bunk beds! The wooden stairs to the top were super sturdy, making it easy to climb up without any discomfort. Each bunk had its own curtain for privacy, plus a personal light and shelf for my phone, which was a thoughtful touch during my stay.

Spacious Shower Area

The bathroom setup was surprisingly spacious for a shared room. I appreciated the design that allowed enough room for toiletries without feeling cramped. Having a proper shower with decent pressure made for a refreshing experience after a long day of sightseeing.

Delicious Cafe Offerings

The cafe downstairs was a good surprise! I enjoyed a morning coffee there every day, with fresh pastries that were simply divine. It made for a perfect start to my mornings and added to the overall experience.

5.0/10

My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing overall. While the location was decent and allowed easy access to some local attractions, the room was far from what I expected based on their promotional images, and the service left much to be desired. Additionally, unexpected charges and poor customer service marred the experience significantly.
