Standard rooms have about 8 bunk beds in the room and have a large dorm-like bathroom per sex. Amenities are plentiful including cafe but you're better off heading to stores and restaurants nearby for a better experience. Most of the staff are nice, helpful people. Dont fall for the "free breakfast" ad, you have to have a premium room. A/C wasn't very warm throughout the night. Keycard required to enter beyond lobby. Super close to metro stations for easy access around town. Area is not the greatest looking safety wise but never had any problems. Good stay overall but be cautious of the guided tour with the older guy(local). His price is cheap but he pulls a fast one on you by losing you in crowds. The hostel plays along by saying he "doesn't have a phone".
