I have this bed bug bites everywhere on my arms and legs. This is the worst place to stay. I just stayed for a day and i am itchy everywhere. The room floor was ripping apart…. The staff are nice and they do clean the place but still the place is a shithole.

A very traditional youth hostel and backpacker's inn, with mixed male and female rooms, and backpackers from all over the world. The overall environment is relatively clean and tidy.
