    No complaints, especially for the price.

    The staff was wonderful and gave me lots of useful information. They helped me get around town and rent a bike. The hostel was right in the centre, with gorgeous views of nearby sights and walking distance within many shops, cafes and restaurants. I loved the very spacious commons space and the bathrooms - the weren't anything fancy and could use a little update but very clean. WiFi was good and there were both fans and air-con to keep things comfy. All great value for money. I felt like a local staying there.

    Walls are quite thin so you can hear noise / movement next door this also means the dorms can be a bit warm.

    Nice hostel, staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Toilets and showers are kinda open air which is cool. They’re building a cafe next door which will be sooo nice when it’s finished.

    The first night we stayed, the female dorm bed i was given seemed to have bedbugs. They were crawling round my bed and i had 20+ bites on my legs. I told the staff who took it very seriously and took the mattress out the room along with the curtain and sheets. I slept in another bed for the next 3 nights and had no issues. I was reluctant to mention this but i just think its best to be honest. I would stay here again, dont let this put you off. Nobody else had the bedbugs it was just contained in one bed.

    The stay was really nice, originally booked for 1 night but then extended. Beds comfortable with curtains and plug sockets.

    The showers were a bit dirty and sometimes the lightswitches of the bathroom weren't working.

    Hostel had everything you need. Beds were clean and comfortable. They stopped the AC during the day but it was always good temperature. The location was also really good and close to a few really good restaurants. The staff was friendly all the time and helpful whenever you needed something.

    The dorm's walls were paper thin, you could hear everything people said nearby as if they were just next you so quite loud especially at night.

    Good location, very nice staff, I changed my trip details and had to cancel my second night, they agreed to only make me pay the cancellation fee and gave me back the second night payment. They have big lockers close to the reception.

    The air conditioning working only inside the rooms, while in the space areas and showers and toilets it’s so hot. I came in February and it was 35 degrees. Also too bad it’s not mix dormitory rooms.

    Best location, feels very clean and cozy and welcoming, comfortable beds, great AC.

    I did laundry and it came back wet. When I asked for a refund they were unwilling to give it and eventually refunded me half of the money.

    Everything was very clean and comfortable. There was a place to sit and read and the wifi was good. The room was for 16 people but there were only 8 of us there and we were all given bottom bunks. There were curtains and good lighting in the beds. The showers and toilets were very clean with lots of space and mirrors.

    My always go to hostel in the city
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bunk Bed in Male Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The beds are pretty basic at best, and past the market and the few chinese venders around the area there isn't to much to do. The expat community at this hotel is very chill, maybe overly chill were no one really talks to each other and its mind your business thing.

    Small hostel in the main area next to bus stations, restaurants, and the street market. The city already is very limited on things to do and this hotel is in one of the best possible spots on my many trips here. This is a hostel shared with other guest but the guest are typically really good to be around and the lounge is nice. There is also a travel agent next door that possibly works with the hotel or owned by the same which is nice so you can get your tickets out of town and pick up is at the hostel no issues.

    Can't say nothing bad about this place. Friendly staff, big bed, soft mattress. clean bathroom, free bananas and water refill. But everything is quite standard in comparison with the other well known hostel in town

    If you get beds near the road it is so loud even with ear plugs I could still hear it. The beds are okay, they have curtains but mattress not too soft

    The hostel is clean and fairly modern. They offer free coffee, water and bananas.
