Chinese but with an European/American/Australian touch. And the food was great!

the staff were extremely helpful and maintained their composure under, at times very busy conditions. The pool table though cramped for room was free and provided a good opportunity to meet other guests. It would be worth while providing better cues. The bar was good well priced drinks (open until 2 pm).but the coffee could be a bit cheaper.

I'm an elder hosteler with lots of experience with backpackers, and I thoroughly recommend Mingtown Hikers. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, even lending me an umbrella one rainy night. Some drainage problems in toilets & showers, but it was a comfortable place to stay - even in the 6-bed dorm with aircon and shower/toilet.
