With a serene bamboo-edged pond in its courtyard, and a bright and inviting lounge and bar area, this is a popular tranquil choice for travellers. Rooms and mixed dorms are clean and quiet and the deluxe double is the nicest of the bunch – basic but clean and comfy with a four-poster pine bed.
The cheapest single has a shared shower room. There's no kitchen but guests can use the fridge, and the hostel restaurant serves well-priced Western and Chinese cuisine, as well as great coffee.
