"This was my first experience in Hostel living. Check in or out was the issue and don’t know how to reach to someone for check in buzz was not working, with luggage and no sim was the challenge, for one night. But was convenient location . House keeper was trying hard to keep the facility clean. For bedsheet charges first time I learned. Ok for one night or 2 . Not more in my opinion. Locker was there for small bag not for big but in room was no issue luckily. Trusting is good but not trusting is...
