I was only there one night but the bar was more geared to the local expats than the backpackers hidden upstairs. The room was an air-conditioned... more ”

“ This is more like a pub, with one BIG dorm in the attic. So basically you have to wash your teeth in a not-so-clean pub toilet. Plus I saw a mouse in the dorm. IMO there are better options nearby. The beds were very comfortable though. ”

“ Had a really good vibe! loved the Jam Jars! a bit dissapointed though because we thought we were staying in an 8 bed dorm and it was more like a 32 bed dorm. Also there was no lock on the room door which was a bit unsafe! ”
