When I saw the dormitory bed price for 15USD of this hostel,I was expecting this must be an amazing hostel since they listed a European -standard-rate in Thailand,However at the end,I was completely and absolutely disappointed.In terms of service,I booked a 6-bed dorm but the staff put me in a 8 bed dorm, I did inform the staff about this ,and he just said: It's the same ,while the night staying there,the WiFi is totally not working,so I had to go to a bar to use the Internet to deal with some urgent work stuff.And this property is indeed with some hygiene issue,it's an old building in the rain season.so the room and toliet is mouldy everywhere, and the bed seems to have insects or bed bugs,I feel itchy all night,couldn't get a decent sleep.In the mean time,they use some very cheap material quilt,it's stuffy,extremely uncomfortable and unhealthy to sleep with it.Although they do have some nice and chic courtyard and relaxing and spacious living areabut overall,I still really don't understand how did they get the confidence to sell 15USD for a dorm bed in a southeast Asia country with just an average service and quality?I really believe the management should rethink about it and match the market and value,otherwise this property will definitely running down in near future.

Very Good location in the old Town. Also every part of its hostel have charging points which is great! I slept however on the top bunk and it was dusty but still clean. For the toilet the one below was good and clean. But the toilet on my 2nd level wasn't clean to me so I struggled when I had to go to the toilet at night

I spent just a night here so I could explore Songkhla. It was right in the middle of everything, so perfect for this. Sadly, the café part of the operation was not operating when I was there, but I was free to use some cooking facilities (I didn't!).I had a private room, but it was a bunk bed. Comfortable enough, but prefer larger beds. There was not much else in the small room. Air con and WiFi were both fine.The other impressive thing about this hostel, apart from location, is the amount of communal space. A big courtyard downstairs, a great room with a long table upstairs and another room with a few chairs, maybe beanbags.

A very nice hostel in the middle of the old city of Songkhla. You can easily walk around to see old buildings, museums, or find something to eat in the same area. The accommodation is simply decorated. But it looks good like staying in a hotel. The rooms are clean and the bathrooms are clean. There is a place to sit. Sitting and working in many places The receptionist is ok. And there are cats to play with. Anyone who is backpacking or looking for affordable but comfortable accommodation. There are still quite a few people staying. Recommend here. The owner takes care of the place very well.

The hostel location was perfectly ideal for a short stay in Songkhla town. Everything was within 10-15 mins walk. I came during non peak period so was there was only a few guests in this hostel. Receptionist Sophia was super friendly and helpful with recommendations and things to do in the town. The room was okay for 2 person as I booked a private room instead of shared dorm. It was comfortable and good for a short stay. Really loved the courtyard in the middle and their resident cats as well. Just a little complain is the amount of mosquitoes in the toilet. There were a lot flying around at the toilet stalls so it was not a comfortable experience. But other than that highly recommend staying here if you’re more than a day tripper to Songkhla!

Yu cafe is a small hostel. It’s not luxurious or so comfortably, it simple,clean safe and friendly. Feel like stay at a friend’s house.The hostel uses shared bathrooms, separated by men and women. There is a common area and have a kitchen, you can show your cooking skill here!It’s simple and functional. And suitable to stay long. ^^

Very good service.The room is good, there is a room to work or to watch movies. There is a bar corner where you can make your own drinks. Kitchen corner where you can cook your own foodBeautiful place to stay, take beautiful photos from every angle. On the day of our stay, we were the only ones staying, so the service was good. Nong Starf even lent us a car to go to the laundry shop. which we need to do a lot of laundry Thank you very much.

Cat lovers can stay here. There are two cute cats who will accompany you. The hotel is good, very open and free. There is a lot of space in other places except the room. The staff is also very good, but there are many mosquitoes, that's it.
