Excellent location, 5-minute walk from the main train station and most of the city attractions and shopping. Good Wi-Fi. The personnel is very friendly and attentive. The mattress and pillows are the best for us during our long travel, the bedsheets are snow-white and tidy, all clean and pleasant with no smell or extra fragrance. Free tea and coffee within specified time, latte was very tasty to us. Overall, we liked it for our short stay.

It was really close to the venue where I had a concert. It was so nice and comfortable!! Seeing girls was so good! I was so confident that I will be safe and fine :) I don't really use make-up, but make-up stands are so good :) I also liked that there were common activities!! It's unfortunate I didn't spend that much time there. Plus there was free food, movies to watch. Totally recommend!! :)

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
