Cool design, artsy look, but bed is uncomfortable, rooms are not sound proofed , and the dirt and molds blend in with the old, antique part of the design, as in floor tiles, walls, bathroom. Staff service and hospitality was good on arrival day, but non existent on departure day, not even a thank you or good bye.

False advertisement. Unfriendly staff to fellow Filipinos. Facilities are aesthetically pleasing but they should clean it up every 6 hours.

The only problem I with the place was that I thought I was reserving a private room only to find out they booked me and my girlfriend into a dorm room for females because they thought I was a girl also

Rooms are inaccurate.

So the hostel rooms posted on this site are not accurate. They DO NOT have a 8bed room for woman only. However they accommodated my daugther and her friend once I complained. Friendly staff

Clean room but noisy at night

Clean room and friendly staff. Bar at the reception, with poor sound-proofing of room, for those who want quiet environment should think twice.

Love this hostel. Got my own room but didn’t feel isolated. Great bar area near the small pool. Very cool vibe with neat art and furnishings. Has sort of a SE Asian warehouse feel. Super social. WiFi was more or less alright. Convenient to most sights. Nicole (I think her name was) is super helpful with logistics. Although will admit everyone else seemed a bit clueless about how to book tours and whatnot. The spot is still under construction - they’re building I think a spa and rec room - so I know this place will keep getting better and better. Jealous of those who get to see it in the near future! High recommend.

Beautiful room but water pressure does not work

The shower water pressure does not work. Just overnight and left first thing in the morning. No chance to provide the feedback to the reception. The room is beautiful and right accessed via staircase.

可愛らしいホステル

今回は娘の家の近くを探したので場所は良かったです。 BTCやカントリーモールの近くでレストランも多くスーパーもあります。 ホテルは大通りから入った所にこじんまりとあるのでわかりづらく、タクシードライバーもホテルを知らず最初はBTCから歩いて探しました笑 部屋はバス、トイレ、ベット、机と、とてもシンプルです。滞在中の掃除はタオル交換はありませんがフロントに言えば新しいバスタオルやトイレットペーパーはもらえます。 この値段なら文句はありません。

Truly a boutique hostel

Really helpful and friendly staff. All praises for this hostel. Since our room was already ready, they allowed us to do early check in. Also gave us a free upgrade! Rooms are very nice and clean. Sheets were very crispy clean. Bonus: bar in the reception area!
