Decent rooms for the price paid/ for a hostel. It could have a warmer vibe. However for travellers its the perfect place espacially for the price. And note that most importantly its highly secure both for the visitors and for the vehicle as it has the private and locked parcking which is rare in such a location. Great.

I stayed in the women’s-only Dormitory A and had a wonderful experience overall. My dorm mates were all incredibly kind, and I even made a lovely new friend during my stay. It was such a unique experience meeting people from different parts of the world, and I'm so glad this was my first hostel experience. One area that could be improved is the check-in process. I arrived around 9:30 p.m., but there was no one at the front desk. One of the staff members told me someone would be with me shortly, but after waiting about 10 minutes, no one came. That staff member then stepped in to help me check in. The process took another 20 minutes, and without any guidance, it was a bit stressful trying to figure out where to go late at night. Aside from that, I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend this hostel.

I the hostel served its purpose for the price. Very quiet and the sister property across the street provided the amenities that were not available at the guesthouse. Decent stay, which they had air conditioning.

The staff was excellent. They always had a smile, where friendly, and took their time to answer my questions as well as give advice. There was plenty of hot water for my private shower and the room was clean enough. I did find some hair that did not belong to me, but not any more or less than I would find at other places. The walls are thin, so be sure to bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. You can hear people in the halls moving around, talking on their phones (which sucks at 2am), the front door chime, etc. The room I was in never got fully dark, so if you need it dark be sure to bring an eye mask. There is an automatic light that turns on in the hallway when someone walks down it, and that light enters the room through a window in the room. The coffee in the morning was great. The all day tea was fantastic! Do note that the times listed for various things (e.g., breakfast, dinner, coffee) on the in-room placard seem more like suggestions. I learned to add 30 minutes to every time listed. The location is excellent if you want to walk around. Everything you need is close by. Given the price paid, I would 100% come back and stay again.
