I stayed here with around 20 other church members for our graduation ceremony. The rooms and bathrooms are super clean, which is really important. The room with bunk beds is spacious where it is able to accommodate 8 persons. The bunk beds have curtains to protect our privacy and the bunk beds are made of woods instead of those tiny creaking bunk bed you found in other hostel style accommodations. There’s small kitchen with utensils provided, iron and iron board, drinking water machine, washing machine and toothbrush/ toothpaste once requested. The common area and the cafe are comfortable to host a small gathering party too. Last but not least, the service staffs, Daniel and Elvis are very helpful and attentive to our needs which makes our stay delightful. Overall, no complaints coming from anyone throughout...
