    Fantastic & Cheap Accommodation for Temporary Stay (Repeated)

    1. Surrounded by not well-maintained old buildings. But 'hey' it's a budget accommodation location.. 2. It is difficult for Muslims to perform prayer due to the limited availability of space, but you can use living space. 3. The corridor for capsules in the room is narrow, but I'm OK with it. 4. Be prepared for rooms with no windows and a blast of AC. A hostel blanket saved me. 5. Be prepared with cash for the refundable deposit.

    1. Value of money for backpackers. 2. Centralized and everything within walking distance including local attractions. 3. Bed & pillow + blanket are comfortable. 4. Cold & hot water shower with good water pressure. 5. Clean & tidy with security. 6. Free usage of a big-size locker is the best. 7. Can deposit your luggage at the counter for free if you arrive earlier than check-in time. 8. They gave you free advice on any event happening in KK and verbally guided you to the location.

    The common area is very small, no not really a hostel where you can interact with other guests

    The best part of it is the crew, super friendly and helpful young people🤗 One if the most comfy dorms I’ve ever slept at, it reminds a bit a bee hive, however that makes beds fully isolated from neighbors and stable, so neither noise or movement of other guests wales you up Great location, walking distance to all KK attractions
