staff are really welcoming and helpful, hostel is really cozy and quiet. beds are comfortable, though it's the typical bunk bed so you can hear and feel your dorm mate climbing up or tossing in bed if you are sensitive. 2 beds of the 6 bed dorm had a cupboard attached to it, which was great cos that's like your mini storage space, and boy it was huge.
they have a chill out area which is really cosy and cooling, very much appreciated for the weather. a really nice garden with a pavilion, which wasn't really used when i was there.
decent security, you need a key card to enter the living areas, and a key for the rooms. the shower areas aren't really air conditioned and they only have a toilet (with bath attached) on the second floor. there were 2 showers and 2 toilets in the ladies on the ground floor. deposit was 400 baht for key and towel, which they will return upon check out. wished that they had ventiliation for the toilets though, there were some of those typical toilet flies in the shower.
location is also really great, nearby to everything, saturday and sunday markets, tha pae gate, walking distance to sompet, lots of good local food options around
