Wash rooms are terrible in lazy duck. Needs renovation
Terrible hostel. We booked a room with private bathroom for few hours before and after living aboard diving .The first stay we did not have the hot water in the shower room. The second stay our toilet was not cleaned after previous guests .I understand that it is a hostel. However, the stained toilet is not acceptable in any place. This hostel should not be advertised by hotels. com at all.

Served the purpose
It was good spot just for a 1 night stay for the purpose we needed it for the staff member at reception was some what helpful but blamed management due to no one answering their phones to organise free airport shuttle service so after trying for nearly an hour with no luck ended up costing us to get to hostel with no reimbursement

Liked: Room comfort
Cheap overnight stay
We had the private room. Its located on the botrom floor right next to the yard where a party was happening lucky the noise stopped by 9pm. The room was big however there is no dor between your room ans ensuite so make sure you are staying with someone who you don't mind being intimate with. The bathroom wasn't clean but we only were staying one night.
The room, bathroom, kitchen...all of them are messy. There is no staff all the time and someone played guitar and sing until 1 a.m.. Moreover, the security is not good. There was a guy who was not live in here but he got a card and slept in our room.
Alla rum hade AC, vilket var ganska skönt samt rummen relativt rena.
Servicen är ett skämt och köket var en katastrof med både insekter och den enda spisen ur funktion.
Läget är centralt
