Nice hostel and friendly for solo traveller. I stayed at Female Dorm. The room is quite big and comfortable. They provided towel as well. Blanket, pillows and bed are comfy. Only the toilet and bathroom quite dirty
Staffs are friendly and helpful. I found many foreigners are here. .

Location is great, just off the main food road (Chulia street) and in walking distance from everything else. For further things get the bus, also nearby.
Hostel was generally clean, although bathrooms not always. Common room was big but empty. Could offer some teas and coffee and also more detailed town information.
Towels, shampoos and drinking water provided.

Its a ok hostel. Maybe not the typical backpacker atmosphere. In the 5th floor is a hang out place with kitchen. A lot of space. The room had good space and were clean. It has lockers ..The bathroom big, but had a Lack of shampoo.
Only Some drunk Indians in my room couldn't turn off their phone Alarm so easy... .
The aircondition was a bit too cold..
