"The staff was friendly and it easy to move in even for one day. It feels a little cramp for the bathroom and shower space. It feels nice to know that my belongings would be fine and untouched when I leave it at my pod. It might be because of the weather at the time but it felt quite humid and but sure if we can request a fan to cool down but besides all that, it wasn't too bad. The sink does have a lot of dirty dishes. I had a good experience for my first time at a hostel as a solo traveler."

I was the one who had a little bit too much to drink that night and unfortunately I thought I was already in my long-term Airbnb. I was blocked out drunk and I walked around naked when I wasn't supposed to. I take full responsib."
