I actually make a mistake booking this hostel but I could not believe a small hostel doing quite good. Bed is clean and comfortable. Bathroom is so clean. Everything I need is in the common room. The room I got is small one but it doesn't make me feel bad about it. For this value it is more than I expected. The host are friendly and helpful. Regards Chung Lee

The rooms are well maintained I was assigned a room with a broken air conditioner and asked to change, so I changed right away.

The room is quite big and clean. But the entrance to the building is not very obvious and hard to find. It is very close to the airport MRT station. The air conditioner in the room is very noisy, and you can hear it even with earplugs. This should be improved.

At first, when searching for accommodation, there was a special choice for a parking lot. After contacting us on the day, we found out that there was no special reservation. So forget it. We found a parking space and walked. Since we are not locals, we relied on Google Maps. When we walked to the marked location, we found that it was a closed shopping mall. So I called to ask for the exact address. The caller told me that it was in an alley across Huayin Street. I looked up and saw a signboard and asked if it was inside the signboard. The caller said no, and that I had to go to the construction road (a little far from the map). You will see the management room. We walked back and forth twice, holding the luggage and pushing the baby, and finally we chose to ask for directions before we found it. On the order form, I made a note that I needed a sterilizer and a bathtub, and I saw that I would be notified by phone if they were not available. Since I didn’t receive a call, I naturally assumed that these facilities would be available, but when I checked in, I learned that they were not available, and I didn’t respond. We didn’t receive a call, and we didn’t get a positive response for this part. Finally, the store clerk provided us with a washbasin for emergency use😅

The public activity area is large, with a washing machine, and you can cook by yourself. You can often smell the aroma of food. The king-size bed room is large, with no obvious stains, but the overall feeling is short, like being in a dwarf country, haha. Also, the pillow is too high, not very friendly to Asian girls with small frames, and I feel backache after waking up. The bed is also relatively soft

Since my flight was early, I chose to stay near the station. I could walk to the night market. However, it was humid and I couldn't stand the hygiene. I ate at a nearby restaurant. Shaved ice, tofu, noodles, and boiled dumplings were all cheap and delicious.
