Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The property is brand new and features a beautiful resort design that is unexpected for a hostel. The price for the dormitory is very reasonable, offering great value for money. The double beds in the dormitory are comfortable and come with amenities such as bedside lights and charging ports.
Negative: In the dormitory where I stayed, one of the shower rooms had no hot water, and the other had a difficult-to-handle lock. Additionally, the locks on the lockers did not function properly. Since the facility is brand new, it seems that some issues still need to be addressed.
