    The location of the hostel is excellent, right next to a bus station and close to a market with many restaurants. This makes it convenient for both adults and children to explore the area easily. The rooms are well soundproofed, ensuring a peaceful and quiet sleep. Additionally, there is a smoking terrace and a social bar, providing a comfortable and sociable atmosphere.

    Felt exceptional, no complaints.

    The location of the hostel was very convenient, as it was close to various restaurants and shops. . the staff at the hostel were friendly and accommodating, making me feel welcomed. I appreciated the cleanliness of the hostel, especially in comparison to other hotels I have stayed at.

    The wifi at the hostel was unreliable and often had poor connectivity, which was frustrating. . the air conditioning in the room was difficult to figure out and took some time to get it working properly.

    I recently had a great stay at a charming old hotel near the airport. The balcony overlooking the playground was a sweet touch, and the bar on the top floor had delicious drinks and a stunning view of the city at night. The 24/7 availability and free airport shuttles made commuting a breeze. Plus, there were plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. I even enjoyed some free entertainment with the pool table and Foosball table. I highly recommend this place for a convenient and enjoyable stay.

    the location was great, near the airport with a free shuttle. The strong wifi and spacious ground floor were perfect for my remote work. The rooftop bar had a friendly chef who tried to accommodate dietary requests.

    The hostel is conveniently located near the airport, allowing for easy access for travelers with early or late flights. the rooms have comfortable mattresses and spacious bathrooms with large showers. There is a free shuttle service to the airport, even at 4 in the morning, which is a great convenience.

    The hostel falls short in terms of cleanliness and noise control. the rooms are dirty, with roaches present, and the noise from the streets outside can disrupt sleep.
