Great location close to the night market and other sights, really nice pool and patio, the beds were really comfy. I only wish it wasn’t packed with young gap year teens, but that’s not the hostel’s fault :)

me and twtwo other friends needed up chanign hostels halfway through our booking, because of their policy of switching off the air con at 9am, making it too hot to sleep in or nap during the day

Exactly the vibe I need- no party but very social. The facilities were great, the pool was awesome, and the vibes were high! It’s also in a great location
