Quiet place. Thursday nights are the best time to come.

The showers are crap. And the toilets aren’t really clean. But for a few nights only and for that price it’s completely alright to stay there and the nightmarket is underneath the hostel. It’s not noisy in there and the fridges have small lockers for every person, so no one can steal food from you. It’s not too bad, but nothing I would like to stay in for a month

Vi bodde i ett dubbelrum, extremt litet samt ofräscha sängar. Air condition var endast på från 5pm - 8am, extremt varmt på rummet de andra timmarna.

まあまあよかったと思います もう少し清潔感があればなお良いですが、 価格に対するクオリティは充分です

It was a hostel so was never going to be amazing. The staff were friendly but the hygiene was poor. Pretty dirty.

A usual cheap hostel with central location. The common areas can use some cleaning and polishing. Fortunately there was aircon and wifi in the room. Staff is mostly cooperative.

The room was clean and comfortable and the aircon worked ok. The 3 bathrooms on the upper floors were not maintained. They were clean enough but only one had toilet paper, one with a shower was out of order and the other one with a shower the door didn't shut or lock. We only stayed one night but are a bit confused as to where we were supposed to shower. The kitchen was lacking on mugs/cups and plates or bowls. We tried to have coffee and had to scrounge for dishes. Decent price for the location though and front desk staff and information guy Phil was great

The hostel is right next to a major construction site. It is dark and drab.

バックパッカー用なので、寝るだけならWi-Fiが使えるから問題はないかな?英語が話せれば、どうにかなる。シャワー付きトイレが一階にしかない。階段のみなので、ヘビーなトランクは持ち運ぶのが大変。

立地いいと思います、 安いのでまた利用するかもしれないです。 またラグーンやお店も近いので暇になってもすぐに出掛けれるから寝るだけで考えたらコスパも悪くない。

Filthy. Bed had sand on it. Floors had weird stains. Air con locked out during peak heat times. Noisy. No lock on bathroom door leading directly from kitchen.

This place had a funky smell very small. No towels. Shared washroom was very hot a not clean. The toilet paper was the cheapest kind. This is my first and last time in this hostel.

During my period in this hostel rats, cockroach. The swimming pool is really really dirty. Construction site just above is pretty noisy. The wifi is good but depend where you are in the hostel. And if you call them to ask if you can work for accomadation they say yes to make you come and after they found escuses to not let you work

I had prepaid for two nights and wished I didn’t. The place was filthy, the staff was never around, the free breakfast was really weak when it was actually there, no lots on the door, people weren’t friendly, no safe or lockers, and the toilet and taps were broken. I moved to travellers oasis after my paid for nights and was so so so much happier!

這家旅舍會盜刷盜用客人的信用卡,大家要小心,他們趁要押房卡金過卡時,再度偷刷,是不良不道德的旅舍。房間太髒亂,有怪味,衛生間很噁心,家具破舊不堪,床單也有破洞。旅舍住客喝酒大聲宣譁到凌晨3點,缺乏管理與制度,我訂的是女性用6床房,但是櫃台執意給男女混住房也,夜裡叫春聲不斷,太不安全,也不規範。廚房碗盤破裂鍋盆凹凸不平已不堪使用。
