I hesitated to book this accommodation because a lot of the reviews say that the hostel is in a shady neighborhood. After walking around the city in diverse parts of town, let me just say that this is completely untrue. The area is mostly frequented by students (there are 2 campuses near the hostel), and there's even a weekend market 2 mins away from the place. While the surroundings might not be similar to what you're used to, there's nothing 'shady' or 'dangerous' about them lol. One thing to note: you'll have to go through a small shop to get the actual hostel. The shop isn't an internet cafe, it's more like somewhere people go to print stuff (there are only two laptops I think), and it's actually very modern and clean. There's just one room with a couple of bunk beds and curtains that provide all the privacy you need. The aircon is always running when there are guests in the room, there are 2 showers and 1 toilet room. The wifi is fast. New towels are provided every day for free, laundry is free, and you'll get a free locker to put your stuff in. The beds are equipped with power sockets (1 or 2 of which are USB ports) and there's a small shelf you can make use of. The people that work there are friendly, kind, and extremely accommodating. They also clean the area + rooms every day.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
