I booked a 4-bed female dorm, and the room was clean and tidy. The beds were incredibly comfortable, especially the duvet and pillows, which were super soft. The hostel staff provided excellent service – very polite and welcoming. The common area had comfortable sofas, free biscuits, toast, and coffee. Both the showers and toilets were spotless. My roommates were also wonderful. I was so satisfied with my stay that I extended it for another five nights. I'll definitely come back if I have the chance!

Facilities: The toilets and showers are communal, mixed-gender, but there is a dedicated women's restroom. Cleanliness: Someone cleans thoroughly every day. Environment: It's located behind Gaya Street, about a five to six-minute walk to get there. The rooms have ventilation and air conditioning, while the common areas have fans and AC. There's also free cold and hot water, a refrigerator, and simple bread available for breakfast. Service: Check-in times are quite strict; Ctrip states 2:30 PM, but it's actually 3:00 PM.

The location is really good, right on Gaya Street. The hygiene is also pretty decent. Just a heads-up, keep a close eye on your wallet—my 100 MYR got stolen. Overall, it's still good. There are lots of local eateries nearby.

Pretty good. It was my first time staying in a mixed-gender dormitory, and everyone was very respectful of personal space.

The location is excellent, close to the beach and convenient for Gaya Street, with plenty of food and drink options nearby. However, the layout is a bit impractical; the toilet is too far from the 4-person room. Having to cross a public area to get to the bathroom in the middle of the night is really inconvenient. Everything else was acceptable.

Great location located at the second floor of shop houses. Plenty choices of restaurants around. Small common area with a big table and large window overlooking green scenery opposite the road.

Stayed here with friends, it's very close to Jonker Street, with lots of restaurants nearby, making it convenient for sightseeing. The landlady was very nice and helped us resolve issues, and the front desk lady was also great. 👍🏻

There's a supermarket downstairs, along with a fruit store that offers great value and delicious produce! A large mall nearby was running promotions at the time, and it's close to the coast, so you can walk to several interconnected night markets with plenty of affordable food options! I heard you could go snorkeling by boat, but I didn't get to do it!

Came here for diving. The hotel's hygiene is excellent, and the location is super convenient. The staff's attitude is also great. I'll definitely choose this place again next time. It's also very easy to find food, and it's just a ten-minute walk to the pier to catch a boat.
