A really great hostel, one of the best I have stayed in while traveling through South East Asia. The staff were very helpful and the rooms and bathroom were spotless.

Overall a pretty good hostel with great character. Loved the entertainment room and I also love the cafe next door. I just thought the blankets were a bit small.

This was by far the most AMAZING hostel I have stayed in throughout my 10 years of travel. It was incredibly clean, spacious, and just well designed. The staff went above and beyond ALL THE TIME to ensure all the backpackers were taken care of. It was a good location there is not a single thing I would complain about!

Very good hostel, with great location, good staff, clean and well kept. We had a private room that was excellent. I had no doubt in leaving money, passport, laptop in my room, because the safety feeling was absolutely high. Pretty good breakfast and water and coffee available 24 hours. Wi-fi works only in the lobby, but is a minor detail.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. I had a good stay there. But there is no chair and table in the room, not convenient when you want to write something.

This is the best hostel I have ever stayed in. We had three teenaged kids with us to and the facility catered for them very well.

I have no complaints. The room is comfortable. The design is good. The staff is excellent. But could you add a big message board in the hostel so that we can leave thoughts or exchange travelling tips?
