Es war sehr sehr schön dort. Die Atmosphäre ist sehr familiär und man fühlt sich dort sehr wohl. Die Stimmung war immer gut und alles war sehr unkompliziert. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit und waren auch mit der Gastgeberin sehr zufrieden, da wir sie immer nach Tipps fragen konnten

It's a nice place to stay. There's a spacious outdoor area, and they provide bread and coffee in the morning. Some days they even offer dinner.

Good value for money. It's a good location, close to tourist attractions and the walking street. The staff are okay. I felt comfortable here.

+ Breakfast was simple. Instant coffee and toast with jam. Room was fine, just what I needed for a night when backpacking. Was close to the night market.

- Facilities were. not up to date and there was no social scene when we were there.

Considering how cheap it is, this is a pretty good hostel. Good location by walking street and water provided. Really quiet while I was there in terms of other guests, not ideal for solo travel but if you're in a group or wanting a chill few days would be a good place to stay (or when it's a bit busier if you're solo)

Super underrated. Basic facilities and security, but nothing to complain about given the price and I never felt unsafe. Can be a bit quiet but the garden area has a lovely vibe and I was able to make lots of friends here, over a shared meal or around the campfire. Cheap, on-site laundry and scooter rental were so convenient. HUGE shout out to LI for going above and beyond as a host and making sure everyone gets the most out of their stay

We booked it as it said family breakfast and dinners so we were happy to overlook some issues, but this has since stopped and the staff said they forgot to take it off hostel world so we had no benefits. Our room smelt really bad and there were bugs in the shower. The bed was also very hard and did not feel very clean. The towels we were provided were stained and threadbare. You cannot lock the door. The best bit about the hostel is the location because it’s very close to walking street.

I chose this hostel based on reviews saying it’s super sociable and easy to make friends. Sadly that wasn’t my experience. There were plenty of people staying here, but the way the social area is laid out makes it really difficult to interact with more than 2 people at a time and really doesn’t facilitate conversation. The dorm also felt really unsafe. Theres no locks on dorm rooms and no door to the hostel in general, so anyone off the street could technically walk into the dorms at a...

even though i went when it was quiet i loved the family style meals, think it’s hands down the most well fed i’ve been on this trip. However, I can’t dismiss the lack of security measures. There’s no front gate at the hostel and so anyone can walk in, most concerning however, as an 18 year old female solo traveller i was put in a room alone with an guy older with me with a bathroom door that didn’t lock, you need your own padlock to lock doors from the outside, when sharing this is les...
