The bed linen is clean, the hostel itself is clean, the staff is friendly. There is not enough space in the common areas and it would be good to add another shelf and hangers near the beds.

This was our first time staying at a hostel, and it truly exceeded my friends' and my expectations. It was incredibly clean and hygienic. As we were a group of four, we were directly assigned a quadruple room, which felt just like being back in our college dorm days. The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming; we could truly feel their kindness and warmth. The location was also very convenient, being close to the pier, Gaya Street, and shopping malls. Overall, it was a truly memorable and unique stay!

I had a great stay! The capsule-style bunk beds were clean, comfortable, and provided good privacy with personal lighting and charging ports. The room was cozy and well-maintained, and the shared space felt safe and quiet. Perfect for budget travelers. Would definitely recommend!

Highly recommended! It's the ultimate value for money! The breakfast is delicious, and there are so many options for those who wake up early. We had a minor hiccup at the beginning, but the owner was very helpful. We ended up trying two different rooms (a dorm and a king-size bed). We slept really well in both. There are quite a few Chinese people staying here, and I saw them chatting and sharing their experiences every day. However, I was so exhausted from island hopping that I just went to my room after showering.
Some things to be wary of:
It's a bit far from the island hopping pier, so you should allow 15-20 minutes to walk there anyway (or maybe we were just walking slowly). Shoes are not allowed inside the hotel, but the bathroom floor was sometimes wet, so I had to wash my feet after using it.
I didn't take any photos of the room, but don't worry, it's exactly what I saw. The public areas are even more welcoming than the photos. Here are some beautiful photos from my island hopping trip.

For this price, it’s totally worth it, rooms are small but totally functional. Balcony is spacious and got space to hand your wetsuits. And we even had a sea view. It’s a good value. Will definitely come back!

The location and facilities were great, and most of the staff was very friendly. However, the laundry service was expensive, and we didn’t receive all of our clothes back—some items were lost. When I reached out to resolve the issue, they stopped responding. I definitely wouldn’t recommend using their laundry service.

GGuest UserVery good hotel, very cost-effective, and in a good location, but the hygiene is not very good. I slept there for two nights and my body was very itchy. The itching lasted for more than ten days. It is recommended to wear clothes before sleeping.
