I was staying at Empo for 11 days, it was my first solo trip and to me it was scaring the first time I reached there because I saw many guys and I was thinking how was I supposed to stay with all of them? It turned out I met great people there from different countries, different purposes of coming to Thai, different backgrounds, etc. But from the very first time I came till I left, I had been treated well by the receptionist. The room was also clean as they got someone cleaning it everyday. I didn't try their meals, as I was out very often. basically I just came back to the hostel to sleep and I'd be going somewhere else again. I really like the location of this hostel as it is close to phrom phong bts station, it took me 20 minutes walk everyday and I like it since I'm a walking person. Overall, it's not the best place I've ever stayed but to me it's more like the experience I got during my stay over there.
