6/10 Good

There are people who stay there permanently, thus it felt more crowded than expected. Expect it to be way busier in summer months with the perms tourists. Had irresponsible people who didn't clean up their dishes and left it in the sink, food left untouched (for god knows how long) in the microwave toaster.
Wan Theng, 1-night trip

Enjoyed the social area and layout.

2/10 Poor

I left the property after 30 mins and look for another one . The room smell. Tower is not provided until requested. It should not promoted to travellers who are not backpackers.

Bo inte här

Till att börja med fick vi vänta på hostelvärden i en halvtimme för att checka in, trots att vi kom inom ramarna av check-in-tiden. Vårt dubbelrum liknade en fängelsecell, saknade avlastningsytor och kändes inte heller rent. Det gemensamma köket var smutsigt och kaosartat och kylarna var rent av äckliga. Vi fick inte heller checka ut i fred, utan femton minuter före utcheckningstiden stormade städpersonal in i rummet och började bädda ur sängarna, trots att både vi och våra tillhörigheter fortfarande var kvar i rummet.
