Opt for a Lower Floor Room

Several guests mentioned that the high floors have no lift, so if you have mobility concerns or heavy luggage, consider requesting a room on a lower floor.

Consider Bringing Earplugs

Some guests reported noise disturbances from other guests, so packing earplugs might help ensure a good night's sleep.

Check Room Amenities

Guests have highlighted that some rooms have a private toilet with unpleasant odors, so it's advisable to inquire about the specific amenities in the room before booking.

Utilize the Shared Kitchen

Many guests appreciated the well-equipped shared kitchen, so consider taking advantage of this facility to prepare your own meals and save on dining expenses.

Be Mindful of Bathroom Availability

A few guests mentioned that there were not enough shared shower rooms, so plan your bathroom usage accordingly to avoid peak times.

Request a Bottom Bunk

If you prefer more privacy and easier access, consider requesting a bottom bunk, as some guests found the upper bunks to be wobbly and noisy.

Bring Your Own Towels

While towels are available for an extra charge, several guests recommended bringing your own to avoid additional expenses.

Consider the Noise Level

Some guests noted that the hostel can be noisy, especially at night, so if you're a light sleeper, it might be helpful to pack noise-canceling headphones or a white noise machine.

Inquire About Luggage Storage

As there is limited space for luggage in the rooms, it's advisable to inquire about the availability of secure luggage storage, especially if you have large bags.

Check the Bathroom Conditions

Some guests mentioned issues with bathroom cleanliness and odors, so it's recommended to check the condition of the bathroom upon arrival and address any concerns with the staff.
