1. Value of money for backpackers. 2. Centralised 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.
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 the 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.

Perfect. My stay at the hostel was absolutely brilliant. The vibe was well lush, and the staff were friendly especially Jeff. Really making you feel right at home. The rooms were tidy, and it had this proper chilled atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a long day. I was made to feel like part of the fam, and the common room was always full of good banter. Not to mention, the location was spot-on, right in the heart of everything, so getting around was a doddle. Just the streets is full with cars everywhere so be careful crossing the road. Honestly, I had a cracking time.

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 staff of Delsie, Jeff and Michelle and others were so kind to me and took care of my special health needs. Good bed with curtains and light/outlet. very clean. Great location in a non touristy area so can see the local culture but still very close to the night market and waterfront. free coffee and a big fridge. Nice big lockers. they allow u to pay on arrival so don't need your pay the tourist tax.
the lounge/common area is small.

It is very close to the dock, making it very convenient to go out to sea for sightseeing. There are supermarkets and restaurants around downstairs, and the distance is very close, with a view of the sea. The room is a separate small compartment, which is very cost-effective
The toilet cannot be flushed normally, and you need to use a water ladle to catch water before you can go to flush the toilet. It is not very convenient, as there are too many shoes at the entrance, which is piled up all over the door, affecting the appearance
