The Red Palm Hostel is very good. Nice location indeed. You can go to from one spot to another just by walking around. Staff are very friendly, nice and accommodating. I recommend this hostel for future visitors. :)

I liked the hostel, but I had a bad taste in my mouth after I asked to get a taxi to the airport (and it clearly states it is 20ringit) and was charged 25 ringit. I didn't mind paying the extra 5 ringit, but the woman that called for the taxi told us that it was the correct, but she must have gotten a larger commission for calling this one taxi.   Read Owner Comments

Great Hostel, well recommended. Pls take the poor turtles out that small container and get them a real tank.

Very friendly staff! No shoes policy helps the cleanliness. Breakfast is not too fancy :-)
