"It was an okay hostel. Relatively clean with a good location. Bathrooms were also clean. Just have to be careful about finding it. I went based on the location in the map on the app (couldnt find it in any other app), and spent over an hour looking for it. Even the local shops didn't know where it was located. Had me walking around in circles. Suggestion: as to be added on wechat as soon as you reserve to avoid any misunderstandings"
