Really good experience in this hostel, I wish I could have stayed more days!! The room is cosy and comfortable, and the atmosphere of the place is super familiar and cosy. Even a free dinner in a restaurant was organised for the guests. Thank you very much!

My stay here was incredible. Yoyo made everything to make me feel welcomed even though I didn't speak Chinese. She introduced me to other guests and helped me get around to visit the area. The athmosphere there is very relaxing, I loved it. The hostel also has a great location.

Well located place (in the old town city area) and very friendly. The person in charge provided us with a lot of good recommendations and tips for our stay. I highly recommend.

The location is great and the staff is very friendly. The sheets were clean and the bed comfortable. However, the carpet in the bedroom was quite dirty and could use an update. There was also a broken tile in the bathroom shower. I think this place is probably better if you stay in a dorm, as it would be great value.

An old, not so tidy room, but with a private bathroom. Don't have a locker neither a key. There's a very nice common space where you can watch movies, eat and chat. Hard to find on the map, also because there was work in progress on the street right outside

I met the hotel's neighbor, she told me that this is a good hotel and she told me that I made a good choice of choosing this hotel. The building structures still old , makes you feel ancient. The staff at the hotel, they are very nice : ]

Only used the hostel as a day base before a late flight and everybody there was helpful and friendly. Had a tiny kitten which is also a plus.
