Cafe was closed which was a bit disappointing and we were locked out for a while. Hostel seemed okay but I think we were the only ones staying there!

hardest matress ive ever laid on, genuinly the same as the floor haha. the sheets had stains so felt a little iffy, and one of the security lockers had no lid, but we were only 2 in the room so we just used the other ones... staff was super lovely and sweet though....

+ War sehr günstig

- Die Betten stinken extrem und waren nicht frisch gemacht als ich gekommen bin! Ausserdem nur komische Leute im Hostel. 1 Typ hat im Zimmer gekocht mit einer Kochplatte, einer hat die ganze Nacht ein Instrument gespielt, einer hat in 50 Plastiktüten geschlafen und war ziemlich sicher ein Dealer, habe einen gesehen mit einer Kartonplatte als Hut usw.😂 Mussten nach 2 Nächten flüchten. Als ich die Bettsituation erklärt habe hat die Frau an der Rezeption nur gelacht und gesagt: I know. Falls ihr euren Freunden crazy Storys über ein Hostel erzählen wollt seid ihr hier genau richtig, alle anderen sollten sich besser etwas anderes suchen😊

Great value hostel. Pretty good location, short walk to the old town. Clean and has everything you need. I would say the cafe is never open anymore so not option for a coffee and it’s very unsocial.

I stayed two weeks in this hostel, could not recommend enough, I loved it!!! The lady is managing the hostel very well and is an even better cook, if you have a chance to eat in her restaurant when she opens it!!

- 샤워 헤드 걸이와 옷 수납 장소가 부족하여 아쉬웠습니다

Fairly good location, amazing staff! We lost our bank cards and had to get new ones delivered to this hostel whilst we were in Pai, the owner made sure they were kept safe for us for when we returned. Thanks so much!

Ich war nur eine Nacht dort, dafür war es okay. Es ist Nachts recht laut, weil es direkt einer stark befahrenen Straße liegt. Ansonsten war es sauber und man konnte recht gut schlafen

I wasn't a fan of their black decor; it felt a bit heavy, but overall it was a fantastic experience and the price was a real bargain

Good budget option & staff were very friendly. Mattresses are quite hard. Whilst location is still accessible it is a little bit far out. Especially if you’re planning to be on foot. Nice seating areas but not too social.

+ Good value for money at £10 for a private room. Good location close to Nimman.

- It was not very clean, the bathrooms were dirty and there was dirt all over the shelf in my room that I was able to wipe off easily, meaning clearly nobody ever cleans the shelves. The beds were also extremely hard and I found that uncomfortable.
