“Best for solo female travelers”
Friendly stuff and cool interior design. Everything was very new and clean so I even got curious if the hostel was opened just recently.

The female dorm was perfectly clean and always silent at night time. The bed was comfortable and cozy. I had a really great time and would definitely stay there again.

This was my second stay. My comments are the same as before. The security is good. I felt very safe and they are very helpful storing baggage.

“It was so comfortable and good value that I am going back for another two nights from tomorrow!”
The location is very convenient. The bus terminal and monorail stations are nearby and it is in the heart of the city but in a quiet street. The place is very well organized and kept very clean. The breakfast is good and reasonably priced.
