Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Check-in window ends at 22:00 — Arrivals are only accepted between 14:00 and 22:00, so late-night landings could be a problem.
  • No pets allowed — The hostel doesn't accept pets, so those traveling with animals will need other arrangements.
  • Shared dormitory living — Most beds are in 6-bed dorms; guests wanting more privacy should book the private queen or quadruple rooms.

“The hostel is new and the minimalist setup was exactly what I liked. The bathroom was clean and well stocked. The owner was cool and made me toast when I checked out early. There's a massage place and a convenience store close by. Wi-Fi worked well for getting things done, and the whole vibe was great.”

Breakfast was delicious, and the location meant we could walk everywhere. Calm and relaxing, and the team made us feel at home. Highly recommend.”

“Perfect location, with a Seven Eleven a minute away and a small temple next door. Rooms were clean and comfortable, with plenty of space for our stuff. Staff were young, friendly, and always smiling, going out of their way. They even packed breakfast for us when we had to leave early.”

“This hostel blew me away. The room was perfect — spacious, spotless, and the power shower had hot water. Staff were incredibly kind and accommodating, opening breakfast early for tours and lending me a towel for a day trip. Breakfast was tasty, with a daily morning drink. The relaxing music and calm atmosphere made it special. Location couldn't be beat — food, massages, markets, and stores all within walking distance. After seven months of traveling, this is one of my favorites. Facilities were spotless, staff attentive, Wi-Fi reliable for remote work. The owner let me check in early and extend checkout. The garden was beautiful and serene. Can't recommend enough.”

“Amazing location with a small temple nearby and 7-11 under a minute away. Beautiful clean rooms, comfy beds, and enough storage. Staff were friendly and helpful, and made tasty breakfast to go. Rooms stayed cool and quiet, AC worked. Lovely garden, electric showers, minimalist decor. Easy access to laundry, 7-11, and transport. The owner made toast for an early checkout. Good Wi-Fi for work. Cafe's Thai milk tea was great. Flexible with times. Will definitely return.”
