I did not really appreciate finding someone of the opposite sex in the same room with me, especially when there was sufficient space to place her elsewhere.

Friendly staff, clean room, comfortable bed, complete amenities, but the location is kind of far from downtown, bus stop avaliable

Hi Yi, thank you for your kind review. We do strive to be a cozy and friendly hostel. And you're right, we're not smack downtown. But a 25 min walk to downtown (or 7 min ride on the bus) aint so bad either. Thank you for taking the time to review us :)

Hi Matt, you booked a 4-person dorm and when you arrived we tried to upgrade you (for free) to a 2 person dorm, but we said we weren't sure just yet if we could do it. It was ultimately not possible because the other person in 2-person dorm wanted (and paid for) a fully private room at arrival. We then gave you what you booked, which was a 4-person dorm. This was NOT a downgrade, but what you originally booked. If you wanted a more private room you were welcome to upgrade (and pay for) a private room. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoyed your stay :)

Staff at this hostel were so lovely and helpful. They really went out of their way to make sure that I was taken care of, and that I could enjoy the local area

The owners were really nice, the wi-fi worked great, the kitchen is large and functional, but the house needs improvements. There are only two bathrooms for everybody (I'm guessing over 20 people if the hostel is full), and shower and toilet are not separate, which makes them even more difficult to use. In my room there was no AC or even a fan. Luckily it was not bad during the evening, but it was very warm before sunset. I also believe the price is not fair for what you get. Beds, mattresses and pillows look very cheap, so they should definitely charge less.
