The pictures were definitely taken a while back. Its a lot messier than it looks. Inside there were insects everywhere. The bathroom wasn't the cleanest either. Dorms were okay. For the price you pay you can't really complain. It's really cheap. I wouldn't come. So I don't recommend. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in May 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 22 May 2019 Liked: Staff & service アクセスが良い、清潔さは許容範囲内 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in May 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 30 Apr 2019 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 26 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 16 Mar 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aksel 11 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Aksel Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ludovic 29 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good place nice people ##### ludovic Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 15 Oct 2018 Disliked: Staff & service #### Bait and switch taxi to airport. Huge upset. BAIT AND SWITCH ALERT I booked a taxi to the airport for 120bhat with the team. The word taxi was said at least 10 times between us all and lady said owner would even drive me. When it came time to leave they tried to stick me in owner's friend's red bus songthew (charging me 4x the normal rate of 30bhat). I protested because I paid and was promised a taxi. Instead they thought I'd be fine holding my luggage in this bus and paying 4x for uncomfy seats so his friend can make a sweet profit. After protesting this bait and switch owner left for about 6 minutes then came back and drove me to airport. I was really disappointed by this con. I had a lot of respect for this team until they did this. :( The hostel was okay for the price the location was near a beautiful park but after the bait and switch I'd book elsewhere. Also read reviews on the tours before you book them. Also the staff will try to direct you to owners friend's red bus songthew and he will overcharge you. They cost 30 bhat. Don't ask the price. The price is posted on each bus. He will claim he has to turn around but that is part of the job. I'd rather give extra for honesty than be forced to pay more because I'm foreign. :( ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 1 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 24 Mar 2018 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great host I would stay here again :) Tin the host is amazing!

The hostel is a combination of a hostel and a night club. They try and have different activities through out the week, ranging from family dinner night to board game day. It is a bit rundown but you get what you pay for. The area is the biggest downside a lot of construction and not much to do it see. ##### Crockett ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Grasmere](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grasmere-Hotels.d4368.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Numa Berlin Arc](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Berlin-Hotels-Angleterre-Hotel.h992661.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Du Lac](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Menaggio-Hotels-Hotel-Du-Lac.h2525952.Hotel-Information) > > [The Old Radar Station, St Boniface Down, Ventnor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ventnor-Hotels-The-Old-Radar-Station.h34450531.Hotel-Information) > > [Astra Sky River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chiang-Mai-Hotels-Astra-Sky-River.h92767225.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Chiang Mai](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chiang-Mai-Hotels-Shangri-La-Chiang-Mai.h1803009.Hotel-Information) > > [AMANOR Hotel Chiang Mai](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chiang-Mai-Hotels-AMANOR-Hotel-Chiang-Mai.h9766837.Hotel-Information) > > [Casino Hotels in Hurghada](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hurghada-Hotels-Casino-Hotel.0-0-d1512-tCasinoHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Bluesun Hotel Soline](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brela-Hotels-Bluesun-Hotel-Soline.h2788382.Hotel-Information) > > [Hetai Boutique House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chiang-Mai-Hotels-Hetai-Boutique-House.h27267425.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Tunisia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Tunisia-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d182-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Nijmegen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nijmegen-Hotels.d6129690.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Prince Apart](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marmaris-Hotels-Prince-Apart.h17252413.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Souk Madinat Jumeirah](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Souk-Madinat-Jumeirah-Hotels.0-l6199484-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Chevin Country Park Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Otley-Hotels-Chevin-Country-Park-Hotel-Spa.h523389.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Chiang Mai](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chiang-Mai-Hotels-Melia-Chiang-Mai.h2420707.Hotel-Information) > > [Danubius Hotel Helia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budapest-Hotels-Danubius-Hotel-Helia.h12661.Hotel-Information) > > [Numa Prague Flow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prague-Hotels-La-Ballerina.h7421795.Hotel-Information) > > [The Astra Condo Chiang Mai](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chiang-Mai-Hotels-The-Astra-Condo-Chiang-Mai.h22386749.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Ramsgate (MSE) to Newquay (NQY)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/mse/nqy/manston-to-newquay) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Tuban (DPS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/dps/manchester-to-denpasar) ### Cars > [Sixt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sixt-Car-Hire.cSX.Travel-Guide-CarHireCompany) ### Activities > [Things to do in Long Hanborough](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Long-Hanborough.d6346428.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Widow Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Widow.d3000312066.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Cologne Cathedral](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cologne-Cathedral-Old-Town-Cologne.d6073475.Attraction) > > [Pigeon Forge Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pigeon-Forge.d8264.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Acapulco](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Acapulco.dx179991) > > [Visit La Palma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Palma.dx6047159)
