衛生観念のないゲストハウス！
Pros:

チェックアウト後　荷物を預かってくれた！

Cons:

ゲストハウス的な設備、物品は一応揃ってはいるが汚くて使う気になれない、
シャワーもお湯のスイッチが入らず結局冷たい水のシャワーばかりで風をひいた。
暑いマレーシア🇲🇾で‼️😤

Pros:

It was cheap. Aircon worked. Wasn't busy. Was given clean bed linen on arrival.

Cons:

No hot water, only 2 usable power points in a10 bed dorm. Shower head and hose holder were broken. Pillows were disgusting. No privacy curtains, sheets didn't stay on the old mattress at all, the wooden flooring was coming up and the beds were very creaky.

Pros:

Free tea and coffee is nice

Cons:

Bathroom a bit old but for the price of the hostel I think it is ok, some might not like that.

Cons:

Het was verschrikkelijk. Ben na 5 minuten weer weggegaan. Kreeg een stapel met doekjes mee om mijn bed op te maken. Ik keek naar de matrassen en dacht hier ga ik niet op liggen, en dan ben ik echt nog wel wat gewend. Bloed vlek op de muur, dode insecten op de grond, en zwarte vlekjes o

Good
Pros:

The beds are comfortable and the location is good. Good value for money.

Cons:

The pillows are in desperate need of replacement and there could be more attention to detail in maintaining the cleanliness of the bathroom. There are minimal sockets which could be aided with extensions. Minor details make a big difference.
