    The value for money at this hostel was fantastic, with clean and comfortable rooms. The location was perfect, just steps away from the bus station and close to the Night Bazaar and Saturday Night Market. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making it easy to meet other travelers.

    The morning meal could be improved by offering a greater variety of options.

    The location of the hostel is very convenient, as it is close to the night bazaar and bus station. Guests appreciate the friendly and helpful staff who provide suggestions and recommendations for exploring the city. the rooms are clean and modern, with comfortable beds and good air conditioning. Free amenities such as coffee, tea, and bananas are available to enjoy.

    Some noise from the reception area and people gathering outside the rooms on the first floor can be bothersome.

    The air-con was a lifesaver in the scorching heat, and the shared lounge was perfect for people-watching. The bicycle rental service was a great way to explore the area, even though I nearly crashed into a tree. twice.

    Oh, I just loved not having the nearest airport right next door. Such a shame, I enjoy the symphony of planes taking off and landing while I sleep.

    Free coffee, tea, water, crackers, cookies. Lovely rooftop terrace with a cozy and homey atmosphere.- Convenient location, just 2 minutes from the night market and bus terminal.- Clean bedrooms and washrooms.- Friendly and helpful staff.- Fast WiFi and clean communal area

    Unpleasant smell in the top floor bathroom. Unusable rooftop terrace due to waterlogged artificial grass and lack of lighting at night.

    The hosts at this hostel were absolutely amazing! They were so friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic. They went above and beyond to make us feel at home and provided great information about the area. the location of the hostel was perfect, close to the bus station and within walking distance of the night market and the beautiful clock tower. the facilities were clean and well-maintained, with powerful showers that could be adjusted for temperature. Plus, they provided free drinking water and a little breakfast/snack table with fruit, toast, tea, and coffee. Such a thoughtful touch!

    That there were lots of mosquitos in the downstairs bathroom and bedroom. It would have been nicer if they had taken measures to prevent this issue, as it made the space a bit uncomfortable.
