Good location. Owners/staff were attentive by what’s app
I was very disappointed withy stay. I was due to stay for 3 nights and moved after the first night. The sheets and blanket hard marks on, very thin mattress and initial an extremely noisy bunk bed but we agreed for me to love to another bed. I’m not a fussy person having travelled all over the world and stayed on shared accommodation but this was not for me.

地理位置在市中心 被pullman和hillton夹在中间 楼下就有711 门外的公共区域很惬意 卫生比较干净 关键是老板人很好 会说中文 推荐了很好吃的东西给我 性价比超级高
可能是开在老建筑内 hostel的设施比较老旧 室内可以说没有公共区域 一进门就是所有床位 床是上中下三层 最下面一层是床垫子直接铺在地上

Self-CheckIn hat geklappt. Sehr gute Lage. Freundliches Personal der Reinigungsstaff. Waschmaschine und Trockner vorhanden. Viele Tipps vorhanden für Ausflüge. Schade das es keine wirklichen Sitzmöglichkeiten im Frauendorm auf dem Balkon gab. Ich denke das Hostel wäre viel besser, wenn es dort permanent Personal gäbe. Vor allem was die Sauberkeit angeht. Hostel ist trotz Sozialbereich nicht sehr sozial.
Check-In Daten kamen erst auf erneute Nachfrage und nicht 14 Uhr wie angekündigt. Die Küche im OG war sehr dreckig! Im Geschoss drunter noch deckiger und nicht nutzbar. Es wäre toll saubere Grundausstattung (Tassen und Schüsseln) vorzufinden und mit einem sauberen Lappen abwaschen zu können. Gereinigt wird glaube nur 1 x am Tag. Daher sind Duschen und Gänge nicht immer sauber. Die Küche wurde nicht täglich gereinigt.

La ubicación
Si no tienes sim en tu teléfono no puedes entrar, ya que tienes que llamar cuando estes afuera para que te manden los códigos, no hay nadie que te atienda físicamente.
El internet no funciona
Finalmente converse con la dueña, ella con muy buen carácter y va a cambiar ciertas cosas

Struttura semplice e pulita! Letti grandi e comodi. Presenza di aree comuni grandi e anche lavatrice! Ce una piccola cucina! Lo staff non e presente in quanto check in e check out si svolgono da soli!

During the second visit I even did not received check in instructions! I had to ask them (after check in time) to kindly send it to me!
I tried different room and different bed type. It was more comfortable but the bed was dirty - there was blood on the bed sheets??!! I sent a photo to them and I have not received any answer....

Good location
Very bad communication from the beginning. There is no staff so everything is online. I got the instructions and the Whatsapp number did not work, the code for the box was not correct, I asked for the bed as far as possible from the AC and I was below AC....everything wrong.
The room is really cold and the bed??? It was really bad...The mattress was very bad and it was very hard to sleep, with every single - even the small - move I had to woke up the other guests.
It used to be the best place in Kuching....Its the shame that you ruined the great reputation with the incompetent staff.
8.0 / 10.0
At first, it's quite confusing to find the hostel location. After got all the instructions given I feel satisfied. But, locker placement seems like not suitable to locate at hidden spot.
9.0 / 10.0
Quiet place, privacy curtains, very affordable, good location, tour and activity options listed on the walls, free drinking water, hot showers
Air con didn’t reach the beds, the price paid was always more than what booking . Com said. Could’ve done with soap by the sink and toilet roll being replaced regularly

Well located in Kuching. They have a balcony and also a fridge/kitchen. Good place to stay in Kuching on a budget.
Beds are not sooo comfy. Mattresses are a bit old.

Clean & quiet
Too quiet. No common space to meet other travlers
8.0 / 10.0
i received an uncomfortable bed. as the condition was not suitable for me and i cant sleep, the owner was kind and care about my concern. So he shifted me to other place and the new place was super comfortable. It just the toilet might required daily cleaning. Anyway i would rate 8/10 for the room and the customer service.

The owner is very nice, room is large and clean, walk a bit then can reach waterfront and city town.

Really nice, clean hostel just off Kuching’s waterfront with a bus stop to Bako National Park just a 2 minute walk away. Check in and communication through whatsapp were seamless. Facilities are basic but was never left needing anything. Very quiet place (only 1 other guest when I was there) with good privacy provided by curtains and lockers for security.

Bed is comfortable. There has a curtain and it's more privacy. Toilet & Kitchen is clean. Near the Top Spot Seafood, restaurant and grocery stores. Close to the waterfront and malls.
Water pressure for shower is quite slow.

The strange component of cleaning man( he told me first what he is on vacation there) who tells me that " I should take a picture of you, but don't worry I will not share your identity with someone" who keeps asking me again & again about take a picture & next asked at what time I will leave, at what time is my flight. I feel not confortable in this place after this , so be careful about this guy.

A place to stay if you just want a bed to sleep. About a 15 minute walk to the waterfront. Privacy curtains are nice. They let me rent the locker when I went to Baku NP for a day.
Not much of a hostel. When you enter the gate, there's two floor, each is a room with a lot of beds and a couple of bathrooms. There wasn't really a reception area. Communicated the whole time via WhatsApp.

7.0 / 10.0
Great location, bed was comfortable. Gave information about tours/buses. Filtered water in the kitchen.
The only common area was a small balcony that with a few improvements could be quite nice. But how it is now, it's not really inviting.
