The staff is friendly and the vibe of the hostel is great! The location is also a plus.
The dorms are just bunk beds and don’t give any privacy. There is a bed converted in a full room that looks messy and not clean, maybe get a different bunk bed than this one.
Some of the kitchen utensils are too old and the fridge is extremely full all the time.

Hostel location is pretty much center of city, opp riverflow view, walking distance from parks. About 400m you have cyber mini market for food n essentials. Bus stops at walking distance. Most importantly it's close all the most happening places in the city. Self cooking is possible.
Hostel looks pretty average from modern facilities wise. Washing machine extra charge, I got my bunder bed underground probably it's fine for winter, not ok for summer without AC.

This place RULES! It was my favorite hostel of my trip through three of the Stans. It had a true, hostel vibe and everyone was super kind and helpful. 10/10!
It was all super awesome and there’s nothing to dislike.

It had a big house feel and good yard to relax in. Reasonably social, but low key. Good proximity to the river for walks.
It was a bit noisy with other guests talking at night. I stayed both up stairs and down. It is a good idea to take earplugs.
