The hostel is normal, I personally did not notice cockroaches, but my friends saw, the repair is old, but all the windows are placed on plastic double-glazed windows and there are no problems with heating, do not freeze in winter, the shower is in an underground room, everything is pretty clean, there is a refrigerator and kettle in the kitchen, the water is quite clean, but I would not drink I advise you, it's better to buy it in the store. It's a small thing, but this one will be in every dorm, I didn't find any horror.
A good place near habzai. Near my house, you can ride a bike nearby in the summer, on a scooter, a skateboard, there are a lot of young people and teachers there.
