Very good

Liked: The property is super central located, close to everything. The stuff is polite.
Disliked: Once I stay in hostels like this, I realise I don’t want to stay in hostels anymore :D A lot needs to be done to improve - first of all, it was very dirty. Shower and toilet area was common for men and women which made a lot of girls uncomfortable.
