7 / 10Good·Dec 2025
- Booked a single bed but only me was in the entire room.
- Shower room clean and water pressure is good.
- Cozy room (not sure was it due to alone) and air conditioner was strong.
- Staircase only to go up. Basically it was due to personal matter as just back from hiking so my legs was sore to climb up.

great location,we had the night markets humming in the street outside but still slept soundly.
A lovely cool communal area where you could read, eat while watching the markets down below.

Ein sehr netter und gemütlicher Aufenthaltsbereich. Toll war für uns auch, dass man kostenlos Wäsche waschen konnte. Frühstück war landestypisch und für uns völlig ausreichend: Toast, Marmelade, Eier, frisches Obst, Tee und Kaffee. Die Lage war sehr zentral und der NightMarket findet direkt in der Straße des Hostels statt. Vom Fenster konnte man das bunte Treiben beobachten.
Wir wurden am Abend etwas ruppig empfangen und konnten nicht nachvollziehen warum. Ansonsten war das Personal aber sehr freundlich. Bis zum Schluss blieb die Frage offen, ob wir die Tourismus-Tax extra bezahlen müssen

Central location
Not clean and most staff didn’t speak much English so communication was difficult
