    A bit old and slightly run down. Kitchen is basically an outdoor kitchen so don't expect anything clean and modern.

    It's very affordable but it also shows. The building and facilities are quite old so the place certainly isn't the easiest to keep clean. But for a cheap hostel to sleep, I think it's great. It's close to everything. But nothing special just a place to sleep.

    The bed is crazy uncomfortable, only 2 toilets for the whole hostel and one of them has the door broken, I stayed in a dorm without ac with 2 old men that I believe that work there and they wake up every 10 minutes in the middle of the night making big noise and even one time I got back late from outside, went to the toilet and one of them was peeing standing with the door open. Disgusting. So be aware if you book that room. And it’s not a friendly and social vibe in general, I stayed 3 nights and I think it’s enough. Don’t regret but wouldn’t go again

    The price and location are good, Pirat (I don’t know how to write his name) is very friendly and is available to help you with what you need, the shower is good and hot and the outside area is relaxing

    Really lovely hostel, a beautiful area by the river where you can chill out. We had a private room and it was just what we needed for the night. A lot of rooms outside and a few tents as well. Staff were amazing & they have tea and coffee available. Had a really nice feel about it and lots of backpackers and travellers! For the price, it was amazing!

    The first night we had a private room inside and the walls were moldy. The second night we had a tent outdoors which we enjoyed a lot. The bathrooms were sometimes really dirty. The place was really far away from everything.

    Nice that they offer the possibility to sleep in tents, really cheap (not sure if you can book the tents on booking or only in person). Nice location at the riverside.

    there is just one space on the River and its always blocked by people who smoke... so i couldnt really enjoy the view and nature surrounding. also there was just one bed in our 6 bed dorm who had a socket one other in the room was shared by the rest.

    i like the quiet area and that it was cheap. free water and coffee.

    Location is good because everything you need is nearby. The staff was really friendly and the rooms were clean. The setting is pretty relaxing too as you can sit by the river bank to watch the sunset. They can keep your luggage for you a while if you need that and finding grab rides to and from the hostel was pretty quick and cheap.

    Lots of 60 year olds staying long term. They have no idea about respecting other people. Watching loud ig reels all the time. Talking in the rooms. Nov 2024 they have construction next door.

    It’s cheapest you can find. Good price. Nice river and chill backyard area.

    For the price there are of course lots of things to improve. The building needs maintenance, the AC as well. And it seems to attract people that do not care much about cleanliness...

    You get what you pay for - it's a decent stay if your expectations also match what you pay. But for the price you get an AC room, which I did not expect. It's also nicely situated next to a river, so this is really good. It's also the closest hostel to the station in case you need to catch an early train.

    I specifically requested for bottom part of bunk bed. They didn’t acknowledge my request. Perhaps, it’s first come first serve basis. This is a minor issue. Overall, enjoyed my stay. Will return :)

    The receptionist was super helpful. She even offered a late check-in which was past their operating hours. The facilities are well kept. Good to manage your self expectation by understanding that hostels ≠ hotels. Clean water and coffee are provided! The backyard view is simply beautiful. Had the time of my life :)
