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.

    Surprisingly large hostel with great common space (bar, stage for live music). Beds are very comfortable (not super solid). Very well-located, cheap and with many other friendly guests!

    A lot of the design in the store is great, including the toilets and the details of the accommodation area. The experience is very good, and you can feel that it is a sincere youth hostel. You must come and experience it for yourself!thanks Ran

    It's a great location, you can see the bell tower from the hostel, and the front desk staff are always smiling, especially Jia, who tells me about the local food.

    Cleanest hostel I’ve ever been at. There’s always at least one English speaker on the front desk and the others all have some level of English. Free drinks and snacks all day. Beer in the fridge is cheap and cold! Breakfast in the morning was good and cheap also. The beds are comfy, rooms clean and lockers are very safe.

    Great location - just a short walk from the Great Mosque and the Drum Tower. It's a pretty straightforward, basic kind of hostel, but does the job for a quick cheap stay
