The staff are mega friendly and helpful and travelers were also amazing. They provide you with free water, coffee and tea and if you want to cook basic stuff (like boil some eggs and toast some bread, they make it available as well). The beds were absolutely comfortable and clean - we stayed in the double bed dorm, then in the single bed dorm and finally on a private room as they upgraded our room. They have laundry machines for you to use very affordable and the Wi-Fi was very good (we were there working most of the time). Fully recommend and I could have stayed much more!

Cheap stay at a good location with several points of interest at walking distance. Only about 4 or 5 mins drive to Imago. Beds were comfortable, place was clean, and there's a pool!
Modern furnishing and each pod feels very private which is nice. The area immediately outside the hostel doesn’t feel like the most inviting but is perfectly safe, and probably quite insightful. Very central (although not sure that really makes a difference- not huge amounts to do in the city)
Amazing culture, stunning sunsets from the hostel panorama window and very clean! Definitely one of the very best hostels I’ve been in so far. Special thanks to Jenny of the hostel staff for integrating new people into the amazing social culture!
Great location, great food, warm personnel and comfy and clean room. Couldn't have wished for more for that price, we stayed at the dormitory.
Great location, clean, very fast communication, bathroom is on a balcony and it was really great experience. We enjoyed the stay there. Cheap and good. Can recommend it.
Great location 5 min walk from orangutans and sunbears,, nice swimming pool, good that breakfast is included and you can buy all meals at the resort because its the only option for food really. Fine budget option.
The place was in a great location, near night markets and lots of coffee shops and restaurants for during the day. The staff were really helpful, leaving keys in a safe box for us to check in in the early hours. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed - great value for money and would recommend a stay here in KK!
