    The stuff was cordial and provided adequate information. I didn't use most of the facilities, as I stayed only one night, but the hostel provides a well-equipped kitchen to prepare your meals, a tv area and organise various social activities.

    It's an amazing hostel! Haven't stayed at a backpackers hostel in a while, it was nice to be in that atmosphere again. Very good community spaces to socialize or chill out alone.

    Nice activities and area to meet others. It was a younger group than myself and the enjoyment lasted into the night through my window…but it was fine. I found a more mellow place for older travelers. GREAT Thai massage across the street.
