Hostel is in the centre, overall it is good🌞
The outside place to sit not nice
8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2023
The place is recommended! No smokey smell or any uncomfortable smell at all! The staff is kind and professional. She is kind enough to show me how to use the shower when I thought it's not functional. This place is nearby to restaurants and stores and clinic and the market that sells fruits and veggies! The restaurant is opened as early as 6 am! The evening market is located 200m away and it's behind the DIY building! Oh, and it's opened around 4 pm to 7 pm.
I woke up one because someone was using the washing machine/ shared bathroom around 3 am.
I woke up again around 5 am when the garbage truck was passing by downstairs.
Then again around 6 am when they opened the stores and restaurants. Can't help it, I'm quite sensitive to noise🤣 Oh, and the iron board need to be replaced. It was unstable and not safe to use.

Clean and comfortable up-to-date hostel.
The staff leaves at 17, and doesn’t come back until the next morning. You are just left on your own on the premises. It is not a problem - it is just a bit weird to be left on your own (and is makes checkin-times less flexible.

The location.
The hostel would need some rehabilitations to seem cleaner, especially in the bathroom.
