Reviews
Location of the hostel is cherry on top.
Beds were comfortable.
Lockers were provided to keep valuables.
Hostel is located within a housing complex and is in a safe neighbourhood. Its also within 10 mins walk to the nearest shopping mall & 30 mins walk to the Park at the river. Good location
Hostel is a mix of long-term residents + tourists. Everyone was really friendly and respectful of the hostel rules so it was quiet in the night and clean facilities. 👍🏻
Hostel has 3 convenience stores nearby, some are 24 hours. Coffee Boom is right beside the Hostel for your morning caffeine.
Safe parking for your motorcycle, there are multiple entry points with parking barrier, however you can enter via the sidewalk with ease.
The staff are polite and friendly and facilities ideal. There are big beds and large lockers as well as access to laundry and a fully equipped kitchen.
The showers are great, my only two suggestions for management are
- maybe have soap/toiletries for sale
- beds should be made before guests arrive, it is difficult to make your bed on the top bunk when arriving late...
The beds in the dorms are comfortable (we had to make them though)
Unfortunately not a friendly place
