The AC worked great. Our double bed and pillows were more comfortable than I expected. The location is central but that comes with constant loud music and multiple people playing music at once. This was not in control of the hostel though. Breakfast was boiled eggs, toast, and bananas. Free water was great! It’s a grimey hostel, exactly what the name is: backpackers hostel
Hostel was good located and they had tours ready to book. All-in-all shower and toilets were ok, budget-hostel-standard. Like the common area on the roof the most.
Met up with Joshua ...really a nice n helpful chap. Very friendly n committed to Margo guests. Rooms are very clean n new. Only alittle tied on space. Security to access rooms is well thought out n gd ...gives us a sense of safety esp for gals for a budget hotel....so thank you mgmt. Location is gd n near eateries n big shopping mall Imago ...walking distance. Will return again for sure ....thank you Joshua for making our stay extra special.... 🤗
Cheap and cheerful stay in the city. The room is very central, walking distance or short grab ride to the main malls and ferry port to get to the islands. Any issues we raised via whatsapp were resolved immediately. The owner is friendly via whatsapp and provided clear instructions for finding the place. There's a laundromat in the same block which is handy although there is no drying line in the room. Overall, I'd recommend if on a budget.
This place was beautiful! We are backpackers and did not expect to be staying in such an up market accommodation for so cheap! We booked a dorm room and had it all to ourselves which was perfect! Staff were always super friendly and helpful and they had delicious food - especially the Gobi masala curry! It is a 15 minute walk from the orangutang sanctuary and maybe a 10 minute walk from the rainforest reserve.
Great location and nice price for low-budget travellers. Very near to city centre and food court. Also, the owner prepared tourist information for sharing, which was very useful for backpackers.
great location close to waterfront. very cheap good for budget travel
one of the best hostels we stayed in so far! nice clean and safe place with enough toilets and showers the host is also really nice and he has some good tips for the city and the surrounding areas!
Contactless check in. The cheapest room in town! Comfortable room with hot shower and wifi makes you feel lazy to go out 😂Efficient staff. Great location !ATM, supermarket, cafe and clinic are few steps away! I like the hostel environment with pleasant background music at the lobi..less scary when you came back late at night 🤣
