Séjour 1 nuit
Pros:

L'emplacement au top.
La piscine en toit terrasse avec bar et restaurant.
Bonne ambiance pour les jeunes.
Des distributeurs dans le hall pour snacker.

Cons:

La chambre est plus que sommaire. Un peu de rénovation serait la bienvenue. Difficulté à avoir des serviettes. Un peu plus de sourire de la réceptionniste aurait été agréable.

Excellent and fun!
Pros:

Location amazing!!! Super clean and we had housekeeping which we didnt know but that was cool. Staff was super cool and easygoing, there is someone there 24/7. Amazing stay!

Cons:

The only thing is that we werent capeble of using the pool and the roof because it was under maintenance and that would have been a plus as we knew it was going to be hot during the days.

Pros:

The cleaner tidy up the room everyday

Cons:

Location and vibe are not as good as the hostels in the gated city.
There was no hot water and there was no proper window so it felt cold and humid.
The pool was closed after my first night until June. I was offered the opportunity to use the pool at the other hostel but it was small and it had terrible loud music all day.
When I checked out they tried really hard to charge me someone else's unpaid food bill.
