This is a basic hostel, as you would expect from the price. However, it was clean and comfortable and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We shared a 4 bunk room with our two teenagers, which worked well. There is a dining/lounge area that serves tastey food. However, the location is immediately opposite the main dining/shopping area, so a short walk to all sorts of choices, where you can eat and enjoy the view. (The hostel is down an alley - view from window is the next building - which provides some sheltering from the night time music from the restaurant area.) Supermarket next door. The staff can arrange airport pickup by taxi and help you join locally organised tours. We enjoyed bamboo rafting - door-to-door minibus pickup with a relaxing 1.5 hrs in chairs on a raft for two - plus the guy wielding the punting pole. Expect to get slightly wet, especially your feet, as there are some splashy parts. Two of us also did the white water rafting, although a bit cold in April. The rafting itself was well managed, though transport connections were not well coordinated, so expect a day trip. Expect to get completely soaked. There are lockers and showers, so bring a towel and a change of clothes - and wear shoes that won't float away. In general, a good place to relax. Service in any of the restaurants was slow - so don't be in a rush and enjoy the surroundings.
