The staff are very helpful and the hostel also has an elevator so it's not a hassle to carry suitcases upstairs, but the room is very smelly, especially the AC is not cold when new guests arrive. If their feet smell, oh my gosh, 1 room smells of feet.

I ordered female dorm but was informed by hostel staff (female) that female dorm was not available at that time or was full and offered mixed. I don't want mixed dorm, so I leave my things alone, because I also booked female dorm also at this hostel for May 17 2019 and planned to go to Da Nang. however, I don't go into insects. So I didn't stay here because the problem of changing from female dorm to mixed dorm was not fun for me.
