We stay in hotels all over the world every 6 months or more. Our budget has been low, mid and high over the past 15 years. I must say if you adore 5 star accommodation this is not for you. Personally I love the quirkiness of this hostel. The room is clean, big enough and has Wifi. The bathroom is extremely small but adequate. The location is awesome and the staff speak English. At night, when you leave your room, there are candles, lanterns and incense to guide your way to the front door. We loved the change from he sterile 3/4 star hotels
