It was really a great time to stay here! I made lots of friends from all over the world and they are all friendly and nice. It\'s not dangerous even if I a girl live in a mixed room. Everything is so great! I was also surprised by the fluent Putonghua of one of the staff who is an American. It\'s so respecting to us although my language is Cantonese. Overall I highly recommend you to choose this hostel!=)

There was a rule about lights off yet they were still turned on at rediculous times in the morning which was disturbing. did not have access to baggage at all times, was locked away from 11pm til 9am. this was slightly inconvinient.

I suggest that this hostel specify on their website that you have to keep your bags in the lobby at all times. You only have access till 11pm or so and they do not take responsibility for any loss or damages. We paid for an 8 bed female dorm and got placed in a 10 bed mixed. The doors do not have locks and they do not allow sleeping bags. Overall, was very disappointed and decided to leave on the spot.   Read Owner Comments

Its disgusting, i normally dont believe in reviews but if you have to spend the money go to a good place, the only good thing is the location and they make sure they charge you a tooth and a nail for it.   Read Owner Comments
