Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The reception and lady at the front desk was an absolute beauty. The place was clean and peaceful, quiet, and felt very safe. The location is a bit far away from the city center, and transportation might be difficult without a car.

Mohamad and Rana was perfect at the reception, i didn't had chance to say goodbye. The hostel location a little bit far from the center but clean and that is the important. Wish you the best guys.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The place is new, very very clean. Dorm beds are comfy and private, overall I had a great stay everything and everryone were really nice, only note is they charge 5€ for keeping lagguge after check out and not allowing to stay inside the hostel, so I was asked to leave. This policy was explained to me by the receptionist who offered me to just carry my stuff with me if it's not too heavy and if I don't like their policy. Besides that I am truly pleased by everything else.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
When I arrived at the place there was no one at reception. There were a bunch of guys all around inside and outside the place. I said I booked a room and they all looked at me weird and didn’t speak any English. They just led me out of the place and pointed to a different spot. It was late and dark and I was very uncomfortable and scared. I tried looking for a place they pointed me to and it was a gated residential facility. I left.

Es muyyyy pequeño En la zona de camas, hay cortinas que dan "cierta" privacidad, pero cuando enciendes la luz todo se ve hacia afuera. Se me hizo muyyyy caro para el servicio que ofrece. No cuenta con cocina No tiene área para al menos comer lo que uno trae Los baños son mixtos y tienen cortinas de plástico horribles, q no te da nada de privacidad Los 15 minutos en autos, se convierten en casi u a hora si te mueves en transporte Urbano La atención de la recepción, esa si es muy buena, pero no me volvería a quedar en este lugar!
