    Dave from Malaysia
    Solo traveler
    Mixed Dorm-Bunk Bed For 1 Person
    Stayed 3 nights in June 2026

    “Good for a few night”

    Its pretty good, its like a capsule style bed with privacy curtain, the bathroom is ok, there is a water dispenser, and the location infront of the hills and a few meter from a 24h 7 eleven. Of course its a backpacker hostel, you really need luck, my luck isn't good, i couldn't sleep because someone is snoring loudly through the night. Apart from that, the check in is pretty straight forward. It's a self check in, and there is no front desk
