The staff were super friendly and helpful, even when the whole city lost water and we had to cancel a night. They still found a way to get people showers at another facility. They make AMAZING pad Thai!! Also plenty of privacy on the beds with thick curtains and plenty of space.

The beds were a bit hard and the dorm was a little loud because it was right above the street.

A little compact but almost perfect hostel. Sleeping experience is good, a/c, curtains, lockers, shower, toilet, free coffee/water all top notch. The lady in charge Ohm is sweet and very helpful. It's a shame there is no guest discount on the ground floor restaurant/ coffee shop as it's great but expensive for a budget traveller. Highly recommended overall.

Strangely, on arrival you have to make your own bed. Never known this before. More odd than anything.

The location is right at the middle of Nimman area, easily accessible to night life activities. The hostel has hassle-free check-in process and the check-in staff is polite. The cleanliness is acceptable.
