The pictures is quite misleading. It is nothing like the pictures shown. Further, cleanliness wise is quite bad. I've stayed in quite a number of hostel throughout Europe. This is my first in Asia's countries. Quite disappointed with the cleanliness.

Hostel staff was friendly and great. Everything was clean. The main problem was the mosquitoes. They were terrible the first night. I killed 7 in our room and still got bitten several times that night. It was a little better the second night. Other than the bugs and some fairly noisy guests returning at late hours, it was a great place. The location is very convenient and again the staff was as good as you could hope for. If you don't mind risking mosquitoes, then I can recommend it.
