I went here back in 2015 January. |The best and nicest people. I loved the fact it was run by a family and that their son (who was a toddler not even) was running around. I missed this place...beds were clean comfortable. …

Overall, it is considered good..near a convenience store..complete with amenities..there is an old cat whose caretaker tells stories of heroic deeds that made a northern cat have to crawl to live on an island, making one cat slave happy as well😜😜😜The weak point would be the privacy in the common room..there is no curtain to separate if you come in a group. .It's fun in a group together..but if you come alone..it kind of lacks privacy..🤔..Parking..you can park right on the side of the road. It's hard to find. Whether it's easy or not depends on your luck..If you're asking if I want to go back to use the service again..if I have the opportunity, I'll probably go again.😋😋😋

The location is good and there is a kitchen. It's in the center of the old town, so it's easy to go anywhere. However, if the bathroom is not in the room, you have to go down to the first floor to find the shower and toilet, which is inconvenient. The staff are friendly too :)

I stayed in a dormitory.The employees are kind and accommodating to your requests. I had a very enjoyable stay.However, because the walls of the room are thin, you can hear the music from the store next door. Also, the air conditioning in dormitory rooms can be turned off during the day, so if you want to take a nap, it's better to ask for a private room.

Pretty decent hostel for the price, clean room, very nice staff, only thing is it is very loud at night; you can hear all vehicles perfectly and when people walk around the building it’s also incredibly loud. Aside from that, pretty good

I think one of the best hostels in Thailand. The staff is just wonderful, they are there to help you with everything! It is very very clean always, so this is wonderful. Rooms are super spacious with excellent working AC. There’s a kitchenette that you can use with free water, coffee and tea. Leo the cat is just so fluffly and nice! There are also two more cats from next door that you can see someontimes and who are very cute. It is excellent located just in the old town! Love it love it love it!

Lovely hostel. Very well decorated. A place to sit outside. A hall way to sit and watch TV or play guitar or chit chat. There's a common garden behind which is also beautiful. Staff people are very friendly. We took a separate room it was quite clean and well organised. Lots of books and board games available. Kitchen facility is also superb.
