Liked: It was in a central location where all the other hostels were. A good place to start exploring the city

Disliked: It was very dirty and extremely basic. The mattresses were very uncomfortable and the rooms smelt funny. The toilets were dirty as well. The linen you were given was very old. Only stayed one night and am glad that I didnt stay any longer

Disliked: At night the air conditioning came on between the hours of 9pm - 9am. The temperature was put on far too low so you were freezing in the night. I also got biten by bed bugs all over my back and shoulders and face.

Liked: Great location, easy to get to with directions provided! Staff so friendly, from check in desk to bar staff!

Disliked: beds in the dorm were pretty shoddy, felt like I was going to fall off the top of mine! And dorms quite small, may be better to upgrade to private room, but perfect for couple of nights!

Liked: International electrical outlets and wireless internet. Location- IF you want to spend time in chinatown. Clean enough. On site laundry service,

Disliked: Very unorganised staff, they overbooked me and put me in someone's private room, on a terribly uncomfortable fold away. then later that night the receptionist told me there was another over booking and that he was going to put the girl in our room - because the other person had a double bed, he said they could share. I told him he cannot just expect someone to share their bed with a stranger. The staff were unfriendly, rude, especially when asking for information. I asked him to book me the bus to penang and he got mad when i asked who the company was (so i could find the bus) because he thought i was comparing prices. No lock on the door, or lockers SHOWERS were terrible, cold, and pretty much just a tap on the wall inside the toilet. No toilet paper Overall this is not a nice place, but VERY cheap, so if you know how to rough it- it is good value for money.

Liked: It was cheap.

Disliked: Funny smell in the dorm all the time, like sour tofu or something, stained mattresses and pillows (but clean sheets provided). Bins in the hallways which probably creates the smell, just generally a bit grubby.
