Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: I had a good experience staying. The breakfast was nice, the stay was comfortable, and I really appreciated the strong security measures—your key card only works for your assigned floor and room, and trying to access other areas resets it. That made me feel very safe throughout the stay.
Negative: The only issue I faced was with the Booking.com listing, which mentioned a twin bed for the 6-bed male dorm. In reality, I was given a bunk bed, and the property staff confirmed that they don’t have any twin beds at all. This made the listing quite misleading. I reached out to Booking.com three times regarding this issue but, unfortunately, never heard back from their support team.
Summary: Great stay and secure place—just confirm room details directly.
