I finally chose this hostel to stay because some Japanese reviewers said that this place is so clean. And, that's true. Unlike many hostels I have stayed before, the library hostel is so quiet and comfy. Perfect place for some digital nomads who want a place to work without so much distraction. I love this place, the bed is spacious. The location is also close to quickmart supermarket to buy daily needs. My Uber driver asked me when he dropped me in front of this place, why this house was called “library”? And I don't know exactly the answer but I just tell him that the owners love to read and there are so many books inside.

Great social vibe. Equipped kitchen. Nice common areas. Hammocks and Netflix. Plugs by beds and lockers. In a nice and safe area, Westlands. Breakfasts were great. Beds were larger than average bunk beds. Met awesome people there and Susan the owner is really helpful and nice, she brought us out for new years eve to a place with great views for the fireworks. If I didn't already have a bus booked I would have extended my stay.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
