“ Single room doesn't have aircon, and there is a room above with only floorboards seperating them so can be a bit noisy. Apart from that its ok, its not a party hostel. ”

“ My experience was not the best. I had the single room, but it does not have a/c in it like it appeared from the website. So I was too hot to sleep my first night there. Otherwise the place is ok. It is very basic in its facilities, but kept suiper clean and the staff is pretty helpful. ”

“ A ceiling over the rooms would not hurt. Any sound passes travel from one room to another very easily thus making it more noisy than desired. Otherwise, I love the place!! ”
