    Stayed 1 night in June 2026

    “Fair price”

    I stayed in a dormitory. Do the higher floors have cheaper rooms? When I was tired, going up and down the stairs became a bit difficult. Each bed has a power outlet, a mini light, and a free hot and cold water dispenser. The price is reasonable for accommodation suitable for backpackers.

    “Good”

    The place is good if you are on a budget. It's just that the luggage should have numbers when they are stored so that the safety can be ensured.

    Stayed 4 nights in June 2026

    “Must recommended”

    Over all this hotel value for money and location wise also. You can explore all the places nearby. Bus and train stop also near to this hotel. Moreover, I'll appreciate the customer service also. After I have checked out from hotel I was in different city I told them that I forgot my watch at their place, then staff has promptly responded and contacted me that they found a watch. And I pick from them whenever I want. 5 star for customer service
