“The hostel has an authentic, peaceful atmosphere, all in a great location.”
The location was awesome. Central, yet not in the busy or loud part. The vibe was superb. Plenty of space for everyone to hang around and the rooms looked fine. Peaceful, proximity to everywhere and a beautiful atmosphere overall. 10/10

I had an absolutely amazing stay at this hostel. From the moment I arrived, everything felt welcoming, clean, and safe. The rooms are spotless, comfortable, and well maintained, and the common areas are cozy and great for relaxing or meeting other travelers. What truly makes this place special is the owner. He is incredibly kind, attentive, and always willing to help. He genuinely cares about his guests and goes out of his way to make sure everyone feels at home. His recommendations about the area, food, and activities were extremely helpful and made my trip even better. The location is excellent — close to transportation, shops, and main attractions — which makes getting around very easy. On top of that, the value for money is outstanding. You really get more than what you pay for here. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a great place to stay with a warm and friendly atmosphere. You are appreciated — greetings from Costa Rica! 🇨🇷

1 Minute two the Mekhong, few minutes to morning- and nightmarket. The stuff is super friendly: I forgot my laundry, they managed to give it a driver the next day so I could pick it up in the new destination. Thanks a lot for that and the good time during my staying in that hostel! The community was also very friendly and social during my time in that place.
