HH888I booked a last-minute one-night stay, checked in around 5:25 PM, and was surprisingly upgraded to a double bunk bed. The size, big enough for me to roll around in, was a pleasant surprise. The front desk staff with glasses and short hair was very friendly; I'm incredibly grateful for the bed she arranged for me. The front desk staff escorts guests to their beds and shows them how to open the door. My hand was injured, making it difficult to exert force, so it took me a while to open the room door. The staff proactively came over to help me. The female overnight front desk staff, also wearing glasses, was kind and friendly. I asked if I could continue staying in the double wide bed if I booked an extra night. She readily agreed, saying it would also mean less cleaning for them. She told me not to rush and to just inform them before checking out in the morning if I decided to extend my stay. And free luggage storage until 11:59 PM on the day of check-out – how great is that?
The hostel offers three basic complimentary beverages, which is good, and the large water dispenser is a plus; it's important to stay hydrated when out and about.
It's excellent that the bathrooms are not in the room, so you won't hear roommates washing up or blow-drying their hair, which could disturb sleep. The room has a window, and although this means hearing outside noises, I actually prefer it for better air circulation. The bed seems to be of the plank-assembly type. The advantage is that the upper bunk doesn't shake the lower bunk when people move around. However, when someone on the upper bunk places things on the non-mattress part, the sound can be noticeably loud. There are lockers in the room to secure belongings. As for the downsides, the wall by the bed had more dust, but as long as it's not insects and I won't get bitten, I don't mind; I can just wipe the dust myself 😁. I know they have many beds to manage and are busy. I suggest regularly, for example, a few times a week, using a damp cloth with alcohol to clean around the beds. If the dust and dirt are gone, you'll be a 100-point hostel!
Although I later found out from the evening front desk staff that the upgrade was due to there being no other beds available, hahaha, I was still very happy about it. So, travelers reading this review, please don't hassle the front desk staff – it's a matter of luck. My travel luck had been terrible for the past few days, so it finally took a turn for the better. Grateful.
