- Mixed comfort in dorms — While some guests found dorms comfortable with curtains and sockets, others noted shared bathrooms and basic facilities in shared rooms.
- Check-in window ends at 23:30 — Guests arriving late at night after 11:30 PM may miss the check-in window, which could be restrictive for red-eye flights or late arrivals.
- Far from metro — The nearest metro is not within walking distance, so guests rely on Ubers or other transport to reach downtown areas.
