The common areas and bathrooms were very clean, and there was a locker right next to the bed where you could use a lock. While it wasn't in a super central area, it was very quiet and walking distance to a lot of stuff which was convenient. The front desk staff were also very friendly and kind. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are okay with a hostel.

The Common Hostel was excellent. Staff was super friendly. The common areas is great for meeting fellow travelers. The breakfast is basic but gets the job done. I booked the private room and it’s small but has all you need. Only thing is there’s no step to separate the shower from rest of the bathroom so water gets over easily. But overall it was a pleasant stay and would definitely come back. It’s on the quieter side of the old city so it’s a bit of a walk/ride to the markets and bars but overall a good time

Overall great stay and worth the price.

Great stay! The beds were comfy and with curtains, nice privacy for the bunk. Cleaning staff was a bit loud while clearing out a couple bunks at 8am, while guests were still sleeping so that was a bit annoying. Also took over 30 minutes just to check in and put my stuff down (problems with the room key, then the cabinet key. In the end they had to change my room). But the staff is really friendly and helpful. Awesome that they offer free water, good coffee, and a little breakfast.

다시 찾고 싶은 좋은 호스텔

홀로 여행객에게 최적화 된 호스텔 무료 아침은 간단하게 요기하기 너무 좋다 또한 무료서비스 물 커피 이것은 강추한다 직원들도 한두명을 빼곤 다 친절하고 편하게 대해 준다 로비가 정말 좋다 로비에셔 마시는 커피는 정말 환상적이다 다만 방음이 좋지 않고 침구류에 다른이의 머리카락이 있다 가격대비 그래도 다시금 찾고 싶은 호스텔

Okay for the price

The location was good and staff were very nice/helpful. The morning breakfast was so so, mosquitos were a bit bothersome and the bed in private room was not very comfortable but for the price, you can't complain to much. If you are on a budget, i would recomend it.

MUST STAY HERE!

The owners and staff make you feel at ease and can help answer any questions. After staying here you'll compare all Hostels to this. SUPER CLEAN and even in dorm space you feel privacy because of the curtains on each bunk. Great breakfast and coffee/tea. AMAZING STAY - THANK YOU!!!! :)
