My initial stay was in a double room which was a much more pleasant time than my last stay a week later in a single. The double room afforded more quiet and space for just a tiny bit more money than the single (18 yuan difference). The single room was located right near the stairs so I heard everyone coming...

Staff were not so friendly with the exception of the 2 ones that works in the cafe (a man and a woman)! I woke up several times with the hostel staff screaming outside my window, opened it and asked them to make silence as I was sleeping (it was late near midnight) but after a couple minutes they started shouting...

It was near the subway station,DOngsi Station. It will only take less than 5 minutes to reach the subway. When you get tired from a long-day of sightseeing, then you can easily get to your hostel and rest.Also, the place was clean. I would always forget to arrange my slippers when I leave the room, and when I came back... More
