    The location is perfect. It's incredibly cheap, and the staff are very friendly.

    It's a cheap hostel you get what you pay for. The dorms are dorms. My private room had a broken door.

    The staff is friendly.

    I wouldn’t stay longer than one night here, it’s not very lively or social here and the swimmingpool definitely doesn’t look as great as the pictures. The communal spaces are a bit weirdly placed in the building. There was no door in my room, just a curtain.

    The location is just perfect when you have to catch an early flight.

    I should have looked more carefully at the options. The cheapest dorm is a capsule style, uncomfortable and claustrophobic. Just a bit more money and you get a normal dorm bed with a lot more space.

    Great in that you can actually walk to the airport in 30 minutes, I did it. Secure, pure business district. Otherwise basic and efficient.

    There’s not much room in the kitchen to actually prep food & no hot water in the showers.

    Good location, decent sized room and a good pool.

    Getting there at night is difficult and confusing because there is no sign that the hostel is there so very hard to find. Couldn't use my beds ladder because it was too close to the wall. Water just blatantly stopped running while I was in the middle of my shower so I had to go to reception full of soap to have it fixed. Construction has the water of the pool a little weird but nothing a shower can't fix

    Beds were comfortable, the pool was covered because of construction but accessible. Nice district, close from the airport. Basic breakfast but it totally does it. Staff was nice. Hot water for showers

    For me it would have been good to keep the doors from the patio to the building closed at night so it would stay warmer in the kitchen (ie the main indoor communal area). But I'm sensitive to the cold and that may just be a personal preference.

    I really liked this place! I was worried about being cold in bed in the dorm because the nights are quite cold, but actually the style of the pods meant they trapped a lot of heat and it was really comfortable. The style also meant you couldn't see into other people's beds, so it felt very private. There was very hot water for a few minutes in the shower (it was easy to add cold), then warn for a few minutes after that. I didn't eat the breakfast but it looked good! Sandy or Sandra on reception was lovely.

    Agreed to pay cash, on arrival was denied after booking was completed. Doors to rooms are not locking. Toilets are right in front of the common area, but uncomfortable.

    Colorful common area.

    The breakfast was very simple, only pancakes. They were very tasty but just nothing else to choose from.

    The staff was very friendly and helpful. It had a nice pool with some tables around. We booked a private room for us 2 and it had space for 5 people, big room with a lot of storage space.

    It feels like, the hostel was old and could use a renovation - but for the price its more than enough!

    The staff was really kind and nice! They helped me with getting a SIM card and also with getting Cash. Every time I had some questions, they helped me. The Hostel overall was really clean! And there was a big variety of the included (!) breakfast. We've got pancakes, oats, cereals, milk, coffee and fruits.

    However, there are areas that require improvement within the facilities. Some shared bathroom doors are broken and some toilet doors are difficult to lock. Furthermore, there is only one private restroom available. While the bed sheets were freshly laundered and had a pleasant scent, I did notice a few lingering stains on them. This can easily be replaced. One notable feature of the hotel is its open corridors, which allow for natural ventilation. However, the blankets provided may not be warm enough for colder nights !

    The staff provided a pleasant and supportive experience. The check-in process was smooth, and I occupied a single room without an attached bathroom. The hotel is situated in Zone 10, which is known for its safety, making me feel secure throughout my stay.

    There is a construction site next to it, in the day is not a quiet place but the building is going to be beautiful when finished, it will add a nice view.

    Great price for decent and clean facilities with hot water, breakfast and friendly staff, outdoor with swimming pool where you can socialize, great internet to work, excellent location near to the airport as well from stores and restaurants. I would definitely come back.

    There were long black hairs in our bed and it was difficult to find as there are no signs outside to say ‘Central Hostel’.

    The staff were friendly and gave us a tour. The filtered water was great and it was in a nice neighbourhood.
