Only stayed a night. Place was clean. Be careful the bathrooms may be slippery if someone used the shower beforehand. Staff were helpful. I found it to be pretty far from everything. I didnt see many restaurants or stores within walkable distance. Was a 15 min walk away from bsi bus station. Hostel is really warm inside.

Would be nice if, "quiet time at 9:00 pm" was posted. And no lights. It's a hostel, 14 beds in my room, 8 people trying to sleep and 6 were a bit rude.

If ALL you need is a clean bed, in an affordable dorm, yo’ll get it. But there is no vibe inside or out. The place is cold, boring and very far from any coffee shop, restaurant, pub and all tourist attractions.

As a hostel it was quite nice. I had a private room, but did have to share bathrooms with other guests. Although there are 15 bathrooms they were often all full due to multiple people showering at the same time of day. It would be useful to have at least one bathroom per floor without a shower so people who needed just the use of a bathroom or sink could use the facilities or brush their teeth without waiting 30-60 minutes for a free bathroom.

Good place very clean. My room is next to the kitchen so it was quite noisy early evening. The public areas are well maintained.

I had a great stay here. Very nice work area where I could sit down and work on my laptop. The bathrooms were very clean. The walk to downtown is also easy. Great place to stay for a solo traveller.

I took the bus and it took me right to the hostel and driver got my luggage out. The rooms are not at the "road level" so you have to take your luggage on the next floor and there is no elevator. The front desk staff can help with the luggage. The 2 somewhat smaller fridges ( compared to the big fridge sizes in USA) in the kitchen were overflowing and not really clean from inside. There is no freezer. Bathrooms were clean. The 4 bed sharing room was decent size. I walked to the church and city. It was very safe and had free parking, if you have a car.
