    Quiet hostel. Exceptional cleanliness and facilities throughout. Certainly the best hostel I have stayed in the last 10 years. Soap, shampoo, hair dryer in the shower. Towel drying rack in the balcony and shoe rack on the outside, free indoor slippers provided, good air conditioning, bedding done by staff, self service laundry, simple breakfast! Exceptional value for money! Can’t get better

    One of the best hostel where I have been. Everything was really clean. I loved how they finished the hostel, it’s really comfortable and cozy. The people working at the reception were really nice. A big plus was the free coffee and tea.

    Very affordable price, and definitely comfortable enough for a hostel. The feeling of the place was interesting, quite 'Asian': they've managed to create a nice-looking lobby in what is actually a window-less space, and they have arranged the weird disposition of the building into a pretty efficient and comfortable hostel. Definitely not the coziest accommodation, but cheap, convenient, and super close to the train station.

    The best hostel I've ever stayed in! Absolutely beautiful. Loads of nice spots to sit and relax, and look out of the giant windows at a view of the city. The room was lovely and felt brand new. Even though I was sharing a backpackers room it feels like you have your own!

    Good for what it does, a night stopover to see the night market and area. Comfy bed and pillows, hit shower, safe and although basic is a good place to stay. I wouldn't stay for many days at a time but for a short stay in good budget accomodation it's a great deal. TV, hot water boiler, very safe and secure.

    The cost of the room was cheaper than other places and therefore good value for money. Moreover, the hostel itself was clean and had a big lounge area.
