Efficient and friendly check in, room was quiet, clean, and modern. Bathrooms at time of use were clean, shower pressure could be more powerful, but not a dealbreaker, enjoyed my stay.

YHA has a good rate affordable for back packers like me, clean and tidy the only problem was the doors of your neighbour's room, plus bathroom doors, they guest keep slamming the doors that wake me up in different times.
