The receptionist woman abused me. She was so pushy and rude. I asked her kindly to stop talking to me and she kept pushing and talking in unfriendly way. Then she attacked me verbally. It was horrible experience. I felt unsafe.

If you are going to stay at shared room be aware :- There are lots of beds more than 10 beds ( mix room)-good toilet , inside the room but they have door . So, No bad smell .- simple and good breakfast- there is aircon inside the room- it’s far from the center . You need walk more than 20 minutes to get to the center . Or rent scooter- beds they have curtains- not professional staffs ( they need improve their management and staffs behaviour). They are more interested in to use their phone instead of keep the hostel clean ,- they need improve their cleaning ( kitchen / swimming pool area ), kitchen is disgusting .

Double room on the ground floor with private bathroom. very old, dirty and smelly bathroom. Breakfast without alternatives. Drink only tea or coffee. Unhygienically uninviting swimming pools. Staff often absent. A little more care in cleaning would be enough, because the structure would not be bad, it is certainly dated, but beautifying it and making the stay more comfortable would be easy. Very inconvenient location for walking on an unlit and decidedly bumpy road. We left early, exasperated by the bathroom situation and the inconvenience of reaching the town centre.
