It was my first time staying at a hostel, but it was definitely a lot better than I expected.
The host, Toto, is friendly and easy to talk to. He gives you recommendations of places to go if you are new to the cities. He also replies to messages in a timely manner. I also didn’t expect to see long-term tenants but they were just as friendly as the host!
If you are concerned with your valuables, I’ll recommend bringing your own lock for the little cabinet beside the bed since no lock will be provided, but it wasn’t a big deal for me.
Aside from the location of the place, I’d definitely recommend the place for someone who’s new to the city or looking for a place that feels like home/dorm. You can definitely make some friends or at least have decent conversations with the host and the tenants.
