I have stayed here a few times and found it fine. It is cheap - but I wouldn't call it nasty. The staff are more than friendly if you take the time to have a conversation with them - and the other people staying there at the time were also friendly enough, but a little wary (we all understand that)....

In short, just don’t go there. It is terrible! I arrived late in the evening after a long journey. I had made an online room reservation to make my life easier on arrival, boy did that backfire on me…..Despite showing my booking code the guy on the reception desk would not check me in without an actual printout of my...

Think about it only if you are travelling with budget. This is typical hostel with small rooms (but clean) and without service. Location is very good for backackers, near bus station and cheap china town. There is a little problem with noises from road traffic during the night. I heard that now they have new managment and rooms are renovated.
