clean and conveniently located

prime location helpful staff crisp towel

the facilities felt more like a hotel than a hostel. the place was clean. bedsheets and towels were crisp, everything was well air conditioned. sufficient sockets were available. i also found drinking water in the lounge which was convenient. there's even a lift available, which i appreciated, and luggage storage after checkout.

The periodical noise in my room seemed to come from a water pump for the plumbing, occurring every 15 minutes. after the pump stopped, a beeping sound followed. i had to use earplugs to sleep. It was really annoying.
