Yuliono 9.0

Location was great, very near to the famous Victoria Street in the old city. I could request lower bed during check-in. The bed number was assigned during check-in. Storage before check-in. Bar and cafe inside. Quiet though sometimes I could hear drunken people outside.

Mollie 8.0

Great location, cool furnishings, unbelievable value for money, I've been in a lot of hostels and this is probably the nicest one.

I had a great stay here! Location is perfect, and the staff welcoming. I stayed in 6 ppl dorm, the beds were good and I had no problems with the bathrooms (I saw some people complaining). I think it was very good for the price.
