  • Carlijn

    Very nice people! They help you with traintimes and tuktuks. The location is good, 10 min from fort and 5 min from a supermatket. The hostel isn't the cleanest but what do you expect for such a price.
  • Julija
    Lithuania Lithuania
    The owners were super friendly. They offered inexpensive laundry services too which I was able to use. They also turned on the AC for the night so the sleep was super comfy. The internet connection isn't the best though but I still managed to work.

    This is a great hostel with excellent cost performance. The staff are polite and hospitable with smiles. When I asked for my laundry to be done, it was returned neatly washed and folded. It is close to the fort, so you can easily go for a walk....
