Travel Purpose: business
Positive: The hostel was good overall, with a nice atmosphere and comfortable stay.
Negative: I didn’t like the rule of turning off the AC from 11 AM to 5 PM. If someone arrives late and needs to rest, the room becomes very uncomfortable and suffocating. It would be better to change this rule or allow AC for guests who have just checked in and need rest.
Summary: Good stay, but the daytime AC restriction needs improvement.
