The host here helped me secure my online key for entry. I'm not the best with phone technology, but no problem, they were there. I liked the cube sleeping a lot, and the showers and bathrooms super clean. Maybe 15 min walk to ferry to central station. Hope to be back

Everything was good and well managed. The staff were really humble, respectful, and very helpful. Just a few suggestions for improvement: The bed didn’t have curtains – it would be great to add them for privacy. The shower water was extremely hot, almost burned my skin 😄 – the temperature control system needs some adjustment. Lastly, it would be very helpful to have a Muslim shower in the toilet. If these improvements are made, I truly believe your service will be 100% perfect!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
