    A quiet and a nice place for budget planned single or a couple travellers. Mr. Kamal -owner is top class. Rooms are very very spacious and so are the amenities. Even if the set up is limited the man himself tries to provide you with everything. You will not hear a NO. Very learned and very helpful and very genuine. I stand fully satisfied. Best wishes.

    This is the perfect hostel to stay. I fully enjoyed my time there. Big thanks for management. They were not only friendly but also caring. As a solo girl traveler, I felt very safe and like at home. The common area is very comfy and cozy, we watched movies, played games and overall had a lot of fun. The food was very tasty, and you will have enough options. The room and bed were clean and pretty well designed. You can always meet new people and make some new friends. Good people and good travelers community are there.

    A quite yet happening hostel. Host is available 24*7 to help you out. Best hostel cafe I have experienced so far. Neat clean and well managed. Young monk hostels never disappoint me.
