It’s a really nice hostel next to the beach. A bit hot in the corridors because of the A/C’s but except that everything was very good and clean.

Clean public kitchen and swimming pool. The cleaning lady tidied the room very cleanly and quickly. It is very close to the public swimming pool, so you can just change your clothes and walk over. It is right next to it.

I booked a basic double room, and the room was brighter when the lights were on. There are night markets on both sides of the hotel, and the front faces the sea. It is cost-effective, and the hygiene is average. It will feel very hot and humid without air conditioning, so the air conditioning is used 24 hours a day. There is a kitchen with a refrigerator, which is suitable for cooking.

The location was just the best. It was in the center of Esplanade, near the night market, so there was no trouble with sightseeing.
It was the cheapest hostel with a private room that I looked at when booking.
The room was small, but better than a dormitory.
The water pressure in the shower was a bit weak, and sometimes there was no hot water, so it was just luck at the time.
At first I had trouble opening the door, but there was a free public phone nearby, and they asked me to call from there, and they opened it for me. I was surprised that there were free public phones in Australia. Lol
