Best sleep I ever had. I don’t usually book shared dorms, but I was just visiting for 1 night anyway so I booked and the place did not disappoint. Bed and comforter was so comfortable, room was clean and quiet even with other guests around. Shower room and toilet are separate, and there is available hair dryer and iron. The staff were very friendly and accomodating. I had to attend a wake so I called ahead and informed the receptionist that I will be back late (curfew was 12 AM) and she very kindly waited to open the door for me. Place was also very secure knowing that it is in downtown area—they have high-tech security locks with codes in almost all doors. Best of all, I only paid 400 for a night :)

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.
