Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Affordable rate

Negative: Too much noise from children running around the hall and walkway, at night (sleping time) and early morning (6pm). The floor is made of wood the reason the sound is very loud when running on the hall and walkway, the worst part is their parents are irresponsible minding their children. This is a backpacker and room are very close to the walkway so people should be mind of respect of other guests. The place is a hostless the reason no one manage the noise level, the management need to address this issue.

Summary: This experience discourages us to come back to use this facility and discourage friends to avoid this backpackers

Positive: I loved the friendly, laid-back vibe—everyone was chill and welcoming. The facilities were perfect: clean, warm, and super cozy for winter. The Narnia movie room was such a cool, creative touch! The kitchen was well-equipped, and the lounge spaces made it easy to relax and meet people. Honestly, no issues at all. Would definitely stay again!

Negative: I didn’t realise the beds were assigned, so I accidentally took the wrong one and had a slightly awkward moment with another guest on my last night. I’m more used to a first-in, first-served setup—but still really enjoyed the stay!
