Location of the hostel is very strategic, in the heart of Chinatown and infront of the Pagoda temple. Friendly staff. Bathroom, bedroom, bed sheet and pillow all clean. Air condition works well. Excellent speed of wifi. I will definitely recommend this hostel and visit again in future.

Strategic. Go down directly to the center of China Town, it's cheap as long as you book well in advance. Lodging options for groups of 8 people, one bed at a time. The waiter is friendly. Communication is easy to understand.

Location is excellent with 5, Banda Street prominently displayed on the complex opposite the Buddha relic temple. The hostel itself is on the 1st floor on the side facing away from the temple. Because the name board is not conspicuous. The proprietor Ms. Sarah is really conscientious and it was nice meeting a person who takes her work so sincerely.
