Fiquei no quarto compartilhado em 6 mulheres e achei o quarto silencioso, bem limpo e cama confortável, banheiro compartilhado estava sempre limpo. Localização excelente para ir andando a quase todos os pontos turísticos, restaurantes e o bairro chinês estava a uma quadra, e achei perto do aeroporto. Super recomendo, no futuro me hospedaria novamente.

Lovely to be a part of this temporary community of travelers. People of all ages and walks of life are here, from all around the world. The staff are great, helpful and cordial. The hostel is well organized and maintained. Bathrooms are about one per room, some are equipped with hairdryers. In the shower though you can only wash hair with foamy soap which is annoying. Bring your own shampoo and conditioner. Plenty of lovely spaces to hang out with buddies or sit by yourself. I stayed for five nights in a 6 bed female room and will gladly stay here again.

Worth the stay! Roomies are generally respectful to noise! All bathrooms are solo bathrooms with full showers and each floor also has accessibility showers! They also allow you to cook your own food with provided kitchen equipment! Also they encourage socializing! Which is great!! 10/10 will stay again!

Overall:This hotel was much nicer than I expected. For a first time Hostel experience, it was better than I had anticipated. Tip: Bring your own lock to secure your locker. If you forget you can buy one. For the price, you cannot beat it. Room Quality:The room was good. Bathroom was good. People in the hostel are all very respectful and mindful. Location: The location is very good. Its not a far walk from alot of places. There are alot of good asian food close by too. Custom Service: All the workers were very friendly and helpful to answer questions. No issues.
