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.

    We stayed for a few hours to get cleaned up before our train trip. It served our purposes. It was relatively cheap compared to neighbouring hotels.

    Probably the cheapest you can get in town for a private room (with share bathroom). If you are looking for a place to sleep for a night on a very low budget, this can be the place but don't expect too much from it.

    In love with the room, for the price the room is comfy and A/C is nice in especially in hot weather. Got cafe at the GF with really cheap croissant (and not bad as well) and cakes that is 40% off after 6pm! Love that they have drinks at lobby too. Great location in the middle of city centre. Its near to a lot of local / town attractions but bit far from PCB / beach. would suggest for u to stay near beach area if u want to travel near beaches.

    Pleasant as I only need a place to sleep. The staff was very helpful and friendly. This place suitable for solo traveller and for family with small budget. Credit for the parking provided. Quite a safe place.

    You get, what you pay. I’m a backpacker and not looking for luxury. I’m looking for cheap guesthouses. and My Friend is cheap and has everything I need. A bed, and a good shower. But what i loved most are the owners. A lovely couple. They even took me to a place nearby to taste durian, a fruit. A great experience and had a great conversation.
