" - "From the photos, I expected a hotel but it was actually a hostel. Although I felt safe with all the door locks, I was a bit surprised by the people who entered behind me after I entered security code and opened front door. They were so casual enough to appear to be local residents. In any case the photos don't show the actual entrance to the building as it shows the adjacent property which looks more like a hotel but was actually blocked by construction barriers during my stay! Other than that, staff was helpful and friendly. "
