Nice communal space and rooms. Room came with good AC. Bathroom was cleaned daily. Came with a basic free breakfast (eggs and bread, made to order). Has a nice view of the river although in the dry season the river shrinks a lot lol.
Didn’t feel very social and they don’t organise activities there (although you can book tours through them and other guests may also be joining so you can meet people that way). Overall, perfectly decent place to stay. Hostel is about 20 mins walk to centre of town which personally wasn’t a problem for me. You go through so winding narrow paths to get to the hostel - the first time might be confusing lol. A lot of aggressive dogs in the area at night, I felt unsettled by that. Hostel also has dogs that live there but they are friendly.

Great pool area, really nice breakfast and food to order.
The dorm wasn’t the best or cleanest, people were quite rude considering the aircon and the toilet area just wasn’t sanitary.

Breakfast was great. Nice communal area to relax in.
Bed comfortable.
Staff weren’t very approachable to ask questions and got help.
Bathroom could do with some updating
