I stayed here for 2 nights before finding myself a new place around the corner, which was a fantastic decision. When I checked in there were 3 men on the desk who all seemed incredibly reluctant to talk to me. Every time I asked a question of through staff (simple things like a bar to watch football or good place... More

The location is great and the price is easy on the wallet. I stayed in the men only section which had around 7 sinlge rooms in a row. The walls were very thin and the guy in the next room was getting it on with a rather noisey girl at 4am which kept me awake for a while but hey,... More

When you get in, they try to convince you to stay. Once you do it, the staff becomes rude. We wanted to book a ticket for the ferry to go to Langkawi, and one guy with long hair treated us very bad. The rooms are claustrophobic, there are no windows, no natural light, but they're spacious. The shared bathrooms are... More

I stayed 2 nights apr1 and not too bad, I would try and get a little closer to the ferry since the streets are hard to walk on carrying luggage. I'm too cheap tp take a taxi:( Neat place to see, breakfast ok

Did not stay at the hostel. I did use their visa service (now located directly across the street from the hostel). For the visa processing they seemed very knowledgeable and got the Thai visa just as advertised. I also used their minivan service to get back to Thailand, which is the reason for my poor rating. After a year in... More

I have no idea how travellers can say that you get what you pay because I have better acomodation in my home country if... More
