I saw the owner(Peter) was cleaned the kitchen and mopped the floor by himself, and the policy which ppl tho not the guests can’t go in the backpacker is good, confirm other guests have a good relax time. the toilet is clean and big, good that only one person can use it at a time.

In general a great place to stay, I reeboked this hostel 6 or 7 times because the hostel suited me well. I tried many of the different rooms (different sizez) and they were all good.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
