    Oh I absolutely loved this place. It is gorgeous inside, and feels like you’re in France with the decor, music & food/drinks. It’s such a hidden gem. Dorms were air conditioned & had enough space, although no big locker to store your luggage there was ample floor space & a side locker per bed. The perfect city hostel and the only thing that could have improved this would have been a pool but understandable that it doesn’t have one considering the history of the building & the fact it’s in a city!

    One of the best hostels I've stayed in throughout my South East Asia travel. Staff are so lovely, the place itself is spotless, the beds are comfy and spacious and there's a nice cafe downstairs to pass the time. The bathrooms were very clean and the shower was great, they even provide shampoo and conditioner! Would 1000000% recommend.

    Very strong aircon during the nights gave me sore throat and they couldn’t lower it down that much

    Nice hostel with reception and bar in 1920s style. Nice room, big bed and room at the side of the bed to leave suitcases/backpacks. Nice bathroom and always clean. Staff very nice and available for any question. Breakfast with lots of choices and good. One free drink (coffee and tea) for each night of your stay.

    Mosquitos in the bathrooms and bedrooms were a bummer. The staff were very formal and while polite not overly welcoming.

    Very clean, good breakfast, excellent coffee, very large bed and lockers. Good location and they let you borrow bikes for free

    This hostel is in a perfect location near all the main streets however this city as a whole was less touristy meaning some of the local men would stare alot, nothing regarding property just the place in general

    Had super clean facilities and lovely staff (who spoke amazing english and always tried to help). We also got free breakfast included and a voucher for a free drink each day!

    - The rooms can get a bit suffocating since there’s no ventilation. - Staff was ok - can be more friendly.

    - Great value for money, good location and clean. - The cafe is great too.

    The toilet seats definitely need attention. It’s not safe to sit on them.

    The staff were attentive and helpful and seemed to work well as a team. The welcome drink was a kind gesture and the sleeping pods were just right. Nice to have free bikes and a good breakfast.
