loud music fluctuating water temperature
the loud music every night really got to me. my room faced the courtyard, and it seemed like i was sleeping in a nightclub until almost midnight. also, the showers weren't great. the water temperature fluctuated a lot, going from hot to cold suddenly, and that was really annoying.

questionable discount unethical practice
the hostel activities were acceptable for a traveler like me.
the staff asked guests for reviews in exchange for a 15% discount, but the discount was questionable. the discounted rate was higher than previous prices or prices on other sites. this practice is unethical and undermines confidence in the hotel.
