Disappointing hostel experience. The oversight of a shared toilet aside, the room was dreary and emitted an unpleasant odor. When seeking an upgrade to a room with a private bathroom , the receptionist initially declined, asserting no availability. However, a suspicious turn of events occurred when he called hours later, citing a sudden vacancy due to a no-show. Skeptical of the timing, it was already too late, I already booked and paid another hotel, sacrificing my prepaid two-night stay here. Cheap proved costly.
