Consider Room Location

Some guests mentioned that the female dorm is located far from the reception and experienced issues with hot water. If you prefer a more convenient location, consider requesting a room closer to the main facilities.

Opt for Private Room

Utilize Early Morning Coffee

The night staff prepares coffee at 6 am, making it a great option for early risers. Take advantage of this service if you enjoy an early morning coffee.

Consider Noise Levels

Some guests noted that the staff and other guests could be noisy, especially during the night. If you are sensitive to noise, consider packing earplugs for a more peaceful sleep.

Verify Wi-Fi Signal

Inquire About Room Amenities

Some guests noted the absence of certain room amenities such as hangers, wardrobe, and tea/coffee facilities. It's advisable to inquire about the availability of these amenities before your stay.

Plan for Transportation

The hotel is a bit far from the city center, so consider using a taxi service or ride-hailing app for convenient transportation, especially if you plan to explore the city frequently.

Be Mindful of Security

While the area around the property is considered safe, some guests suggested using a taxi to return at night due to the lack of lighting on the roads. It's important to prioritize personal safety, especially when moving around after dark.
