Feeling unsafe5 of 2221 in 44 reviews

Unfortunately, the resident (a foreign guest) stole my sandals, as evidenced by CCTV.

Google, December 2025, rated 1/5 by this guest

I had a few clothing items go missing after leaving them on my bed, so I’d recommend being mindful about personal items.

You need a taxi or scooter to get around5 of 2221 in 44 reviews
Problems in the bathroom4 of 2221 in 56 reviews

Only 1 shower had hot water and it’s not a hostel to come to and make friends so if you are solo traveling I’d stay somewhere else, but if you want a quiet clean place to unwind and be left alone then it’s perfect.

Insects or pests4 of 2221 in 56 reviews

Unfortunately there were a lot of ants in our private room and they seemed to be coming from inside cracks in the walls.

Booking network, March 2026, rated 5/10 by this guest

The rooms were clean, there were some flies in the common area, but a spray would solve it.

Heating and air conditioning3 of 2221 in 74 reviews

The rooms are extremely cold due to the air conditioning, and there is no controller to adjust the temperature.
