I liked the rooms , and in suite bathroom, the curtains surrounding each bed gave some privacy that was much needed . And the front desk team and the bar team are all wonderful .

8/10 Very good

I stayed in the all womens dormitory with 6 beds ,the price was fair. The beds and amenities were very clean and well looked after. The dorm bed was little too soft and bouncing for me (I prefer firm mattresses). Staff was good and helpful. Since the weather wasn't hot yet, the room with no a/c was OK. For an early riser like me, I had to wait until 7am for kitchen to open so that I could make a hot tea and 8am for the breakfast. Other than that, all else was OK.

Would have liked staff to show courtesy. Their policy stated that they do not make reservations and yet when a bed was identified, they stated that it was reserved. The following morning, no one had used the same bed.

Nice rooms and amenities and breakfast and great location. Rooms could benefit from having a small quieter work area with access to electrical plugs and a table.
