Pros and cons

Liked: The hostel locates in a wonderful place, with a beautiful pool and bar. Convenient for going anywhere or you can stay a whole day at the pool. Front staffs are so friendly and welcoming.
Disliked: The hostel is too crowded and the rooms are very fulfilled. As bar is attached so it is noisy till 3AM. Not good for people who need quietness.
