Cheap & central location, this hostel has an excellent social bar area -I met some very cool people here - nice as I am travelling alone. The managers, Richie and Martha, and are newly in post, have created an awesome atmosphere and would do anything for anyone. They really made an effort to make me feel comfortable and meet my needs. I found the hostel to be clean, comfortable and friendly. The owner, Yan, made sure to ask me to tell him if any problems. Loved it! Ideal for the Full Moon party!

These people didn't clean anything the entire time we were staying through the full moon party. The owner is terribly annoying, walking around yelling things for no reason and turning music whilst everyone is watching a movie. If you have no other option at full moon time take it over getting a place out of town but if you have a choice don't bother.

This is the worst hostel I've ever stayed at. The dorm room looks like a concentration camp. Literally big slabs of wood with mattresses and no barrier between the mattresses. The place is quite dirty and smells. The owner was very nice though and there is free coffee and tea. Its in a central location so if you are into Full Moon parties and just need a place to crash then it could be good. Otherwise, I recommend going somewhere else.

In reply to this review. Every guest that arrives at the Hostel is shown around first and I ask them if they have any questions or if there is something that they don't like to advise us so we can make improvements. This guest actually told us how they liked the place and never once did they complain or mention anything to us what they have posted. It is disappointing when people tell you one thing, then write something completely different. To say our place is dirty and smells is laughable because we clean the hostel 3 times daily and the bathrooms even more so. Indeed, all the guests we've had so far have mentioned how clean the place is and how good value for money it is with all that we provide. I hope anyone reading the one review does not get the wrong impression of us and if anyone thinking of booking wants to contact us first, we are more than happy to field any concerns and questions they may have.
