I love the room which is very clean & nice. They also provide you a smart tv with Netflix and have a very strong connection of Wifi. The view from the outside is stunning because you are on the 50th floor. I got room with a gaming chair so yes I love it 😂❤️ There are plenty of snacks, instant mee, & frozen food (Yes have to pay Qr). If you want to cook, there are also utensils for you. Beside that, you can wash ur clothes too here with their Washing machine.

Strategic location, excellent facilities and amenities (swimming pool, work area for doing work with laptop, kitchen with dining area, cafes, locker), nearby convenience store, restaurants, & train station (5-min walk), and very friendly and helpful staff. I am impressed with the simple interior design that facilitates air circulation while maintaining the colonial-time exterior of the building. The room is small but has power socket outlet and has ample space for big luggage and shoes. Will definitely stay again when the need arises.

Love how comfortable and beautiful the hostel is. The pictures are very real. Moreover, the washrooms are always clean and well-maintained. I appreciate the availability of an iron, a straightener, and a half-dryer. It's rare to find such facilities in an hostel.

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.

    I had a very pleasant experience at the Hostel, the view is wonderful, the staff is kind and attentive, the structure of the building is great with an infinity pool, laundry, mini market. The Hostel was full of backpackers, so it was great to socialize and meet new people. The location is very privileged, close to the train station and 5 minutes walking distance to the shopping mall.
