    Nice place, but difficult to sleep in the morning

    I suggest turning lights on a bit later in the morning I was sleeping on the lower bad, but climbed to the empty upper one to turn off the light there, and it was quite challenging to go down

    Cozy atmosphere and friendly stuff. Beds are rather big and comfy, good air conditioning. Basic, but functional kitchen, clean showers. Good price and easy check in and check out

    The cafe lounge is considered the de facto "common room" which can be a bit odd for me personally.

    The staff and atmosphere were wonderful. You are extremely close to the water front, you can watch the sunset from a beautiful spot. The board walk is very close if you wish to rent a bike and go for a ride. They offer a wonderful and very inexpensive breakfast option. This was a great place to spend 2 nights. If you are looking to Party this is not the place for it midweek don’t know what weekends are like.

    The room is too hot, even during winter. In the female room, it might be a bit noisy because you can hear the music in the cafe. The music would turn off until 23:00.

    The vibe and the staffs are nice. They also provide body soap and shampoo for shower.

    Can be sorted within budget imo: Washlet in the toilet the hostel area should be fixed, and get washlet for the cafe area; Get fabric softener for the washing machine; Deodorize the rooms more often, it was not so bad but can be better; Food variety and prices Experience booster if equipped: Hot water for all the sinks.

    Very good vibe and decent coffee. Umeshu also very good. Super friendly staff. Right next to the sea. Reasonable price.

    The private room smelled moldy and there was some visible as well. Only went in there to sleep because I didn’t get used to the stingy smell, and I got a bit of a runny nose in the mornings

    A great vibe, awesome staff and good foods

    The room is small, and there is not enough space to put luggage. The washroom is a bit smelly.

    The cafe at the hostel was great! The staff were so friendly and polite! And the place is close to seaside, it is nice for a morning walk.

    Rooms are a little small, but the other guests kept their belongings tucked away so it was fine. The bathroom sinks are by the back door with people coming and going so it wasn't super comfy washing up but don't let these small things deter you from staying at this awesome hostel!

    Great hostel! Walkable distance to American Village. The staff are very welcoming and friendly, and the cafe area is a cool space. There is also a terrace and cold water easily available. Each bunk has a mirror, light, charger, hook. They were hosting an event the night I was there and played good music!

    There is no proper kitchen. This would give a lot of extra points I would have booked more nights.

    Nice concept of a hostel and nice rooms and toilet area, also the common area which is actually a bar.

    As always, it's the other guests that sometimes make things unpleasant, like the guy who starts coughing up his lung at midnight and continues to do so until finally passing out at 3am. Also, I've never enjoyed staying in pods and always seem to get the top one, but, for the value it is what it is. I'd stay again for sure.

    exceptional hostel to meet people, which is always what makes a good hostel. I loved this place from that standpoint.
