Minsu with real passion ”

Passionate host, unique, cosy

Host is an artist by profession which explains the paintings everywhere in the common area. However, what makes this place unique Is definitely the host's passion to connect with people. It was my first experience in backpackers and I will strongly recommend solo travelers to have a go at this if you're looking beyond just having a bed to sleep. Host will urge you to do 3 assignments which will then be used for share and tell at night with the other occupants. Although host can be a little naggy, the sharing indeed brought everyone closer by heart's distance. Really a unique place to experience the locals' friendliness.

a fantastic stay”

I was lucky to stay when the hostel is not full. The owner invited me for free food while he was inviting his Friend for a chat. To my surprise, the owner is a fortune telling whom give u some free tips in your future life...but it up to you whether to believe him or not. Many of his observation was quite correct though.

What really a scam it is!!”

Boss just wants to make money, several single beds put in his living room. Heard by other travelers, while you arrival, boss won't receive your phone. He'll let you to do all thing and take for yourself. Finally, 15 or more persons have to shared using ONLY ONE bathroom. It's really really too BAD!! So if you want to booking this room, pls stop and think more and more. Please!!!

優點: 老闆會聊天請喝茶 會回答旅遊的問題 很乾淨 洗衣服是免費的 缺點: 也是老闆講話聲音比較大聲 朋友常來找 所以交誼廳變成是老闆的不是旅客的 沒有隔音的空間所以想要安靜做事情是不大可能的 客廳的窗戶是打開的時候 外面有人抽煙和室老闆抽煙會飄進來
