Pros:

Location was great for city centre Kuching. Very clear instructions for self check in. Host was very responsive on what's app. No queues for the bathroom facilities. Good airconditioning and wifi.You get what you pay for.

Cons:

Need to pay extra for luggage storage on day of check out.
Cleanliness was not up to the standard that I have experienced throughout most of my travels in southeast asia.
From the photos it was difficult to see that some of the dorm beds are along the corridor so earplugs and eyemask are a must.

Cons:

It feels like a prison, the facilities are stone old, you can hear everything and it’s not even social.
