Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was pleased, given this is a hostel, at how gloriously comfortable the bunk bed was, with quality linen, that allowed me to relax and sleep well, despite sharing the room with five others! I appreciated my roommates' consideration around being quiet and thoughtful.

시설과 위치는 좋았지만 서비스가 너무 별로였어요. 2박 했는데 청소한다고 침대에 있는 제 비치타올 갖고 가버려서 제가 계속 물어보니 그 다음날 겨우 받을 수 있었고 체크인할때 여권을 안돌려줘서 두고와 버렸는데 제가 돈내고 우편으로 돌려받았어요. 미안하다는 이야기도 없고... (비치타올 찾을때 도움 준 여자직원께는 감사해요)

Public kitchen area extremely dirty. I used a dirty cup for one drink and after that figured out it’s dirty both in and out side of the plastic cup. No one’s in responsible for it. And kitchen maid told its other passengers dirt stuff. Personally I don’t believe it but the cleaner can not speak properly and only do is say sorry. It really makes me angry in the morning, and makes the hold day shiittt!

It has been at least 40 years since I stayed at a hostel and it was an excellent experience. Guests of all ages. Everyone I met was respectful of the the others. The hostel was very clean, quiet, sufficient. A much better and healthier breakfast than served in many hotels. Staff was freindly and very helpful.
