Before we start, here are 2 THINGS PEOPLE LOVE about our hostel: 1 - The LOCATION is simply amazing. We are at the center of everything and you can walk everywhere around town from our place. 2 - Our KING SIZE comfortable Bed. The bed is big/European size with new bed sheets, SUPER COMFY DUVET COVERS, and a great mattress. You will LOVE it once you stay in our hostel.

So DO NOT be noisy in our hostel at all times during your stay. 2 - Our room size is NOT THAT BIG(It's 22㎡)! Because of the amazing LOCATION, the housing rate here is REALLY REALLY HIGH. So we are trying to offer the BEST experience with just right room size at the BEST PRICE for you. 3 - The cleaning fee is NOT including daily house keeping. To give you the best living experience, we are using the best bed linen and Hotel Amenities. So in order to offer the best price on Airbnb, the cleaning fee is only for one time.
