It's not the cleanest hostel. The bathrooms were dirty and they don't change the blankets. The staff don't seem to know much either and there are far too many mosquitos. There are definitely much better hostels around.

Hostel is quite big hostel on the 5th floor.There are one manager, two males and one girl staff except the owner Dina. But their works are not so communicative and collaborative each other even though you ask to solve some issues like hangers to equip in shower booths, they would not do any measures Staffs are quite mechanical, no active...

Had a wonderful stay at Dina's Hostel from the moment we arrived to the very last second! Breakfast was delightful, it varies from day to day. The mattresses were nice and firm. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

We stayed 2 nights at the hostel in a private double having booked online. They arranged airport pickup at 1.30am for a good price which was handy. The lift was broken so we had to walk up 5 huge flights of stairs with the bags and every time we went out. Staff were friendly, room was clean, very basic but... More

We stayed in Dina's hostel twice, first for 2 nights, then for 3 nights in private rooms. It might be a good value hostel, but I really don't think it is a 5 star budget place with private rooms. Different rooms have different quality (not reflected in price, so you can't really predict what you will get), and there are... More
