    “Great value for money.”

    The cost performance is great. However, there are no curtains, and there is no bathroom or shower inside the room. Still, the cost performance is top-notch. It's right in front of St. Paul's Cathedral, which is fantastic, but as a healthy adult man, I felt a bit chased by some Arabs when I went out of the accommodation early in the morning, so I can't say the security in the area is that good.

    “If you just want to sleep and go to a different place the next day, I recommend.”

    The next day, I had to go to the airport to catch an early morning flight, but contrary to my worries, the location of the accommodation was close and it was a good place to stay for a short time at a low price. However, since it is a hostel, the bathrooms and showers are only shared outside. In the room, there is a sink for simple washing up.

    Dear Jiyeon, Thank you for your review. We're glad to hear that convenient location and affordable pricing met your needs, especially for your early morning flight. We understand that shared restrooms and showers can be a bit different from more traditional accomodations, and we appreciate your understanding of our hostel setup. It's great to know that the in-room sink was helpful for your convenience. Thank you again for sharing your experience. We hope to welcome you back for another stay in the future. Best regards.

    “Great hostel & great location!”

    I had no issues at this hostel and had a very pleasant stay. I initially was concerned to stay in a room with 7 other women, but there were no problems everyone was respectful & we all seemed to work in sync with each other. The staff were friendly & helpful & the beds were relatively comfy. There are also a couple of fans provided in the room & it was quite spacious so not too hot. I was also able to fit my guitar in my locker, they’re that spacious! Thank you for my stay 🙏🏻
