Check in 30 Nov 2022 I've never stayed in a hostel before. It's fun to sleep with people you don't know. Considered practicing good manners, haha. Plus, the price is cheap and travel is convenient. Near the market and tourist attractions

A little compact but almost perfect hostel. Sleeping experience is good, a/c, curtains, lockers, shower, toilet, free coffee/water all top notch. The lady in charge Ohm is sweet and very helpful. It's a shame there is no guest discount on the ground floor restaurant/ coffee shop as it's great but expensive for a budget traveller. Highly recommended overall.
