The location was amazing, being incredibly close to the Dragon Bridge and the Central Market. However the room was just OK. Everything worked fine, but the fan didn't reach to the bed. Things were mostly clean, but it all just seemed pretty outdated. Plus it was very unpleasant to have the window open right on the street level with buses going past and other loud noises late into the night.
After I checked in, I don't think I saw anyone in the reception area for the rest of my stay (maybe once over five days). The layout of the hostel made it very inconvenient to leave your room, have to go outside, walk around the building, then re-enter the other part of the hostel.
Overall, there wasn't anything wrong per se, but I definitely wouldn't stay here again. There are other places to stay at similar prices that have equally good locations but with better service and more updated amenities in a more intelligible layout.
