Its right next to the road, lot of noise at night. Jimmy is good with information and the facilities provided were excellent for a 10ringgit bed!

Great location if you like to eat lots cheap and good! Amy the receptionist is really helpful and will always point you in the right direction. There's one computer where people can use the internet for half an hour. There's also free use of small lockers (bring your own lock). However staying in a dorm, someone went into my big back and stole my razor :-P

the receptionist was really friendly and helpful, although the staff do have arguements in front of the guests which I did not like, the hostel itself is very clean and has everything you need

only fan no air con. The timber floor is very dusty The staff is very pushy and kept trying to sell tour package or book tickets for me I went back late and the hostel door was down, I have to wake up a guy to get him to open the roller shutter door and all the lights were off, I can't barely find my way back to my room. Do not recommend it at all

We were not given the rooms we payed for. The staff claimed they were full so gave us a double - which had broken aircon!! The whole place stank of bleach and although the staff were helpful - you get the feeling that they were out for all they could get - eg providing us with taxis which turned out to be the hostel owner giving us a lift!

the staff were extremely helpful when i had a bit of a money crisis and the location is great but the rooms and bathrooms leave a lot to be desired, and the girl in the room next to me discovered bed bugs. i don't recommend it.
