"The property needs 24h check-in. Our flight arrived late and I had to seek help from Hotels.com staff to get the property to respond. We waited 1.5h to get our keys to check-in and went to bed at nearly 3am. There were no kitchen amenities nor was there breakfast included. The hostel is really good though. This was my first time in a shared room with multiple beds and we were comfortable, enjoyed privacy and the showers were clean. I would stay there again, provided I don’t have to wait...
