Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only possible from 14:00 to 22:00, which could be tricky for late arrivals or early morning flights.
- No pets allowed — Travelers with pets will need to look elsewhere, as the hostel does not accommodate animals.
- Potential noise from common areas — The lively lounge with video games and a bar may generate noise, which some light sleepers might find disruptive despite the strong AC.
- Value-for-money rating slightly lower than other categories — While the overall rating is solid at 8.9, the value score of 8.8 is marginally below the room and service scores, suggesting pricing is fair but not exceptional for the class.

8.9Verified guest“Stayed four nights for work. The room was actually a spacious six-bed hotel room with its own bathroom. Staff were kind and helpful, the rooms clean and comfortable, and the separate shower and toilet were a plus. Modern design and effective AC made it better. Location next to two supermarkets and bus stops was convenient.”
8.9Verified guest“The air conditioning was a lifesaver given the heat outside—room stayed at a comfortable 19°C for a good night's sleep. Also handy to have a bar nearby that stays open late.”
