I had a mixed experience at the Boutique Hostel. While my room was clean and equipped with a sink, fridge, and lockable cupboards, some amenities fell short of expectation. The location was convenient, close to restaurants and a 20-minute walk to the CBD, but the traffic noise was a downside. Overall, it’s a decent spot for a short stay, especially with the included breakfast, but there were several areas needing improvement. 🛏️☕
