Ok for 1 night but you need to be able to check in before 10pm otherwise not able to check in. Toilet and bathroom is not clean and only 2 showered shared between 36 beds. Bathrooms are mixed so both male and females use so no where to get changed except in the shower room.

The bathroom stinks really bad! It looks kind of clean but the smell is just unacceptable. When i checked in they there was a mug with mold in my capsule! If you are planing on saving some money and eating at the hostel don't count on it. There is no kettle nor microwave to make your food warm.
