    I stayed in a 10-bed dormitory, which was very clean and well-designed. Each bed came with its own privacy curtain, bedside power sockets, and a small reading light. The shared bathroom and shower areas were spotless, and there was even a female-only toilet section, which I really appreciated. The communal kitchen was fully equipped with plenty of stovetops, easily handling the dinner rush without any wait. On top of that, they generously provided free rice, flour, and pasta—a nice bonus for budget travellers. Parking is not available on site, but there are public parking spaces nearby with free overnight parking. Overall, it offers excellent value for money. 我入住的是十人房宿舍，非常乾淨且設計貼心。每張床都有獨立窗簾、床邊充電插座和小閱讀燈。 公共浴室和淋浴區一塵不染，而且還有女性專用洗手間，這點我非常欣賞。 公共廚房設備齊全，爐頭數量充足，晚餐高峰時段也能輕鬆應付。更棒的是，他們免費提供大米、麵粉和意粉，對預算有限的旅人來說是一大加分。 住宿本身沒有停車位，但附近有公共停車場，夜間可免費停放。總體而言，性價比非常高。

    The location is perfect and the facilities are amazing. I really appreciated the privacy curtains on the beds, and the wooden bunk beds felt super sturdy and high quality.

    Loved every bit of my stay! Staff is unmatched. They are efficient, kind and knowledgeable. James, Emily, Mr. Perfectionist in cleaning, Brandon, Caleb, and forgot her name (sorry) who made sure everyday that all the bathrooms are spic and span. And at last thanks Ben, you have great hosting and great team. Thank you
