The staff were friendly, but the soundproofing was completely inadequate—we could hear everything from the conversations in the next room and the noise of the hair dryer.

Good hostel, super clean, quiet, yet social. The dorm is comfortable and it’s nice to have a full working kitchen but also a restaurant (if a bit pricy). Their cultural show on Sundays was charming! The owner seemed a bit annoyed with any travel questions you had, but still was helpful at planning. Good place to meet people, a lot of folks use this hostel as their jumping point for Ala Kul.
