    the facilities were modern and well-maintained, creating a great atmosphere. the staff were very friendly and accommodating, making me feel right at home. i especially enjoyed the yoga session—it was a highlight of my visit! the location was ideal, with a supermarket nearby and easy access to public transport, which made getting around a breeze.

    Not one thing! 😄.

    Had an awesome weekend! The location is super convenient, just steps away from the bus station and tons of restaurants and entertainment. I loved the stylish design, and the facilities like the movie theater and social areas were a blast.

    On the flip side, the kitchen was a bit cramped, and I found it tough to navigate the fridge space. Some more hooks in the bathrooms would be great too—no one likes putting their stuff on the floor. the dorm mattresses could use an upgrade for comfort. it was a great stay, but there’s room for improvement!

    I had an amazing stay with great value for my money; the room was cozy and had the comfiest mattress. The location was spot-on, and everyone from the front desk to housekeeping was friendly and helpful.

    Breakfast items could use a few more healthy options.

    We had an amazing experience at Drifter with a super modern design and a lively vibe. The highlight was the unique online check-in and key system. Although the kitchen was a bit chaotic in the evenings, the overall stay was lovely. I highly recommend this place!

    the large dorm room was filled with natural light, making it feel very spacious despite the oversized backpacks. i particularly enjoyed the variety of common areas, like the stylish library and cinema room, which offered great spots to relax or socialize. with friendly staff and well-maintained laundry and kitchen facilities, it felt very convenient overall. the ambiance and decor were great, creating an experience that exceeded my expectations.

    None 😊.
