Super nice bathroom and toilets with bidet. High pressure shower, I enjoyed getting refreshed every time. I highly recommend this place. ##### AO Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 20 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Sinänsä OK paikka, hieman vaikea löytää, varsinkin hämärässä, ja paljon joutuu kiipeämään portaita. Alakerran baarien musiikki voi häiriä, mutta ihan mukva paikka yöksi tai pariksi. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Amanda 30 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good location in a nicely redone old building, has cooked breakfast that changes, at least was different for both days we were there. There’s rain type shower and they provide shampoo and body wash. Unfortunately the aircon in the twin room didn’t work and that’s a room with no windows... and one of the showers fills with water as the drainage isn’t great so make sure to move the waste bin to higher ground before showering. But well, I personally felt comfortable as I sleep cold and well hostel showers heh..hence the decent rating. ##### Amanda Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julia, Munich, Germany 20 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The location of the hostel is perfect, the rooms are cleaned everyday, the included breakfast is good, very modern atmosphere and interior. Also, the people working there are very friendly, positive and helpful. Absolute recommendation! ##### Julia Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Jacqueline 23 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Charming, clean, and friendly A wonderfully darling place. The women's room was comfortable and the seating area on the first level was a nice place to talk or read. Breakfast was served each morning with a good variety, and the restrooms and shower rooms were on the main floor and kept clean. The only minor problem was mosquitos in the main room (due to their charming windows that were open during the day), but I would highly recommend this place! I have been to Myanmar six or seven times, and this one is one I will stay in again! ##### Jacqueline Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 16 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 19 Oct 2019 Liked: Staff & service 南京虫が出ました。電気をつけて寝ると出なくなりました。それ以外では、朝食、接客サービス、よかったです。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### YOSHIHIKO 2 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### YOSHIHIKO Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very good everything is beautiful.

My first stay was good, thats why I returned. This time I gave a median score for "comfort" because of a bad experience. On the second night a group of maybe 2 or 3 inconsiderate Korean girls were talking or arguing loudly from about 11pm to 2.30am in their private room,which is one floor directly below the men's dorm. There is hardly any soundproofing, flooring is wood panels.It was that loud it kept everyone in the men's dorm up. The management should remind or enforce a policy of quiet hours for the benefit of all travellers. Everything else was perfect except for this incident. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 13 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Overall a great stay For the price & the included breakfast which was quite good, they are hard to beat.Staff are friendly & helpful. No major complaints really, except that they have only small lockers. And they can certainly improve by having more hooks for hanging clothes in the dorms. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stanislav 9 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Винтаж.. Отличный хостел в винтажном стиле, чисто, уютно, комфортно. Выдача, входящих в стоимость проживания, 2х полотенец, большого и маленького, так это отдельная песня. Нигде за 3 года путешествий в бюджетных хостелах такое не встречал. Придраться абсолютно не к чему, разве что завтрак не очень богатый, но абсолюта не бывает, тем более за бюджетный прайс. ##### Stanislav Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 6 Jan 2019 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 6 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service Property was nice and clean. Except we were out that night and returned after midnight and got locked out and we were yelling up the stairs to get the guy to let us in and we had to open the locked gate by using an umbrella and when we walked up the stairs there was a staff member that was awake at the desk that totally ignored us yelling asking for help to get let in... We spent about 30 minutes and literally had to break in just to get to our room that we had already paid for ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 3 Jan 2019 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Okay for one night stay! Dislike the receptionist man with eyeglasses, given the hot water refill ONLY you are sick, and the check in procedure are so stupid .... And never see him smile for whole trip Beside that, other are fair enough! Room are comfortable, but the housekeeper didn't wipe the floor for three days 2 nights. Water pressure for shower and breakfast are good. But need more works on cleaning on common area. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Colleen, Chicago 4 Dec 2018 Liked: Staff & service When I arrived I was immediately disappointed. There were loads of flies / bugs in the stairwell entrance. Upstairs did not seem so bad with bugs. They were renovating the very communal bathroom / shower which was on a different floor to my dorm room. I can’t comment further as I immediately switched accommodations. I’m not sure it’s the best part of town. I advise doing your research. I will say some other travelers did seem content there. ##### Colleen Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 6 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 結構いい 基本的には値段の割に綺麗で使いやすく朝食も美味しい。しかし部屋の中に蚊がいるのがバッド。カーテンも少し汚い。プライベートは保てるが、部屋の中にロッカーはなかった。スタッフはいい感じ。ベッドからはWi-Fi遅い。ただ値段が安いので全体的には高評価。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Lee 4 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pleasant stay,bit quiet Beds are comfortable with proper mattresses and privacy curtains,good aircon,spacious and many toilets,great breakfast. ##### Lee Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Masahiro 5 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Masahiro Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Edwin, Eindhoven 30 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Goed hostel met een prima ligging Het hostel heeft een goede locatie en is van bijna alle gemakken voorzien.
