Nice. Location is great. Very convenient to the airport. Lovely and friendly staff, speaks good English. The hostel is not very friendly for long term travelers since they didn’t have laundry and hungers. Inside of the hostel is dark. The room also. Maybe it’s for their design.Shower is not hot and weak. Dark again, could not make up properly.Breakfast was lovely. I loved that guests are communicating a lot. You will not feel alone:) I describe this hostel is the best one for the one will head to the airport following day and just needs a place to sleep! Overall we enjoyed:)

The bedroom had a single bed and a double bed on the mezzanine. The latter is limited to foam as a mattress. So uncomfortable that two of us had to sleep on the bed one place downstairs. The shower provided very cool water so those who are cold should refrain. The stairs to access the rooms are very steep. The neighborhood is noisy. Very poor value for money

Not the person who stayed there Reserve for employees But let's stop by and give the stars first. I called and annoyed the admin many times. Because we have a problem with the time of our employees' stay. Booked on Agoda and didn't use it. So I called to change it very often. But the admin didn't yell, didn't complain at all, and spoke very, very well. ❤️🥹

In a Box Hostel was fantastic—everything was clean and well kept. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the stay even better. Plus, the metro station is nearby, and popular tourist spots are close too. If you’re looking for a convenient and comfortable place, this hostel is a great choice. Highly recommended.
