Summary: The location is great, and the place is generally fine for a weekend stay. The room was decent, and I really like the idea of capsules since they offer more privacy. However, as others have mentioned, the place feels a bit unfinished, and there are quite a few small issues. For example, the airflow in the capsules is limited, so they get very hot when you close them. There are also no clear signs indicating which bed number is the top or bottom bunk — I spent a long time looking and eventually just picked one. The linens and towels could use an update; they weren’t exactly dirty, but they had spots and blemishes that clearly hadn’t washed out. I also want to point out that there is no toilet paper, only a bidet. Personally, that’s not my preference, and I would have liked to know that before booking. In general, the place felt a bit messy, especially the living room and kitchen, which looked and felt more like someone’s personal home. Overall, it really depends on what kind of hostel experience you’re after. If you prefer a homey place where guests seem to stay for a long time and know each other, this could be a good fit. If you’re looking for something more private and polished, I wouldn’t recommend it.
