Great staff, Pool, and Rooms!”

$1 tequila shots need I say more? but on a serious note I started with a 7 day stay and ended up extending for two weeks! The staff and owners are helpful and friendly, the rooms are cleaned regularly, the bathrooms and showers are more than satisfactory, beds are comfortable and the AC works very well. Its centrally located near most main attractions and places of interest. Food is reasonably priced and the portions are generous. The pool area is great. They host bingo nights and drinking games which are both fun. It has a proper seating area in the lobby unlike a lot of other hostels that are just dirty pillows on the ground. Wifi is strong and laundry service is a life saver. This hostel organizes tours and buses to all the attractions all the attractions and locations that you could ever want to see or visit. As well as passport extensions. You really do get everything included when staying here I reccomend it highly. ARKUN!

A great low budget place to stay. Well run, helpful staff, clean room with AC and hot water for a very fair price. And a lovely pool to cool off in. What more can you ask for. One of the best cheapie places I’ve stayed in over the course of many years travelling in SE Asia and the Indian sub continent.
