Nice staff. Bunk bed with curtains and big locker! (My bag is 64 lts). Even before I arrived staff was nice, always replying my messages fast and clear. I arrived almost 12 am because my bus was late and my booking was respected. Check in was easy and fast. Perfect because I was very tired and wanted to sleep soon. In the morning breakfast was served on time and good quantity. I recommend! :)

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    One of the best hostels I've stayed at in Asia! The hostel is really beautiful with great facilities e.g. a hair dryer and a pool to use. The staff are really friendly, they let me check-out late, they stored my luggage for me whilst I did the loop, and they let me change the dates of my booking last minute. The beds are comfortable with a bedside light and storage locker as well as lockers big enough for my 55L bag. Great location. Really enjoyed the free walking tour which helped me meet other travellers.
