It's very different from the pictureIt has to be slightly different from the picture. This is at the level of fraud.It's not clean at allThe location is good, but nothing else is good.Also, it is basic manners to be quiet in a hostel room, but Indian girls are so noisy. It doesn't matter whether it is 6:30 in the morning or 11 at night, talking is noisy and the sound of packing luggage is also noisy.Even if you ask them to be quiet, it only gets a little better, but it's really pointless.The night staff is not friendly at all.It doesn't seem like they really care

Please avoid this hostel at all cost. Staff are rude and ignore you when you greet them. the bathrooms are absolutely vile, they smell of stale piss. They say the aircon is on from 18:00-10:00 but it remained insanely hot. Like sleeping in an oven. Staff had no consideration for people’s belongings, threw out someone’s luggage as they had accidentally put it in our locker.The place needs to be shut down. They have no care for paying customers. Btw, the aircon in the office is always on cold. Seems fair. Will never ever go back.

Personally I wouldn’t stay here again. The place is dirty, the bathrooms barely get cleaned, the air vents are clogged with dust and is clear they’ve never been cleaned. The aircon barely works, and they only have it on in the evenings. The individual bedrooms get unbearably hot at night. The doors to the rooms are very noisy so you get woken up all throughout the night. The office downstairs has the air con on all the time, really cold. So they prioritises the aircon for staff over the paying customers staying there .
