    Bathrooms aren't super well maintained in shared facilities.

    Great location, super comfy beds. Music turns off at a reasonable hour, and it's a relatively quiet night, apart from the early morning rooster :)

    I forgot my mouthguard. The staff found it and sent it to my next destination. The swimming pool is nice. The breakfast is basic, but it is enough to survive until the lunch time. The dorms are OK. The only downside is that you can't open the windows.

    The last day someone stole my shoes but it wasn’t the hostel fault.

    The bunk beds are fairly narrow. The bottom bunk curtains cover the ladder to the top bunk so you have to disturb someone else's privacy to climb up. Gap on side of bed for things to fall down. Our dorm was right next to the pool tables and socializing area and the walls were so thin that it was very loud and difficult to sleep. Had to ask people to be quiet at 2am and then young children were playing pool loudly before 7am. The staff should ensure people adhere to the quiet time rules.

    Good included breakfast, swimming pool, pool tables, great location set back from the street a short walk from night market, shopping and restaurants. Laundry service and tours.

    Could use some comfy armchairs—even plastic would do—with a bit of recline for lazy, sit-back Westerners! I could do without the pumped in, mandatory pop music. It makes reading or quiet conversation difficult. (We all have our own music devices and headphones nowadays, so there’s no reason to force the same music—or any at all—on everyone!)

    The free breakfast was fine. No kitchen access but the cook worked with me to make my custom (pre-gym) breakfast and there’s free drinking water (hot & cold) plus instant coffee in the common area.

    The toilet door didn’t seem to have a lock in the room toilet and the curtain covers the ladder going up to the top bunk.

    Great place for socialising with a beer at night and a nice pool, bed was ok.

    The one downside was that the toilet in the room was also the same as for the shower so every time anyone took a shower, it got everything super wet.

    Good location, amazing pool and rooms were good as well.

    It wasn't possible to lock the bathroom door in my dorm room, so I had other travelers walk in on me changing. Also there could be more seating options in the common area. Especially in the morning and the evening all seats are usually taken and if you want to sit down and have a drink, you have to use the floor.

    Nice Hostel with friendly staff and lots of Backpackers. Perfect for solo travelers. Nice swimming pool and pool table. Breakfast is included in the stay. Clean rooms and comfortable beds. AC is on all the time in the room.

    I think some rooms might look a bit different as in the pictures. The rooms are convenient but not cozy or a warm atmosphere, but to me that was okay for this price.

    Dorm with 4 beds felt spacious. Nice mattress and I liked the locker above the bed. Warm shower and good aircon and fan. Met some really nice people there. I would describe the vibe as easygoing and social if you're looking for that. Good breakfast: try the pancake, it's so fluffy and big!

    I should have paid a different (obviously lower) price than what I was charged, let's say because of the exchange rate... Well, overall it was a nice stay even for the final price.

    I ordered the bed in female dorm for 6, I was assigned to the room for 4. It was nice. The room has its own bathroom so you don’t need to go out of the room. The breakfast is nice, you have an instant coffee and water during whole day. The view from hostel is beautiful and location is perfect, just a mins walk to night market. The owner is nice guy, he rents motorbikes and can arrange for you the bus and train tickets, all for fair prices.

    Bathrooms weren’t clean. Floor flooded after using the shower as the drain was clogged with hair. Stuff left all over the sink from previous guests (not current ones) Admin is a bit disorganised, it’s all done in a book and not online so they lose track of who’s there and what beds etc The bread at breakfast was really sweet and the coffee wasn’t great but it was free

    Breakfast included Nice friendly staff Organised my transport to various places Decent location close to night market
