At Sungate Hostel you will find a 24-hour front desk where staff organises a range of activities and sells tickets to local attractions. Other public areas include a shared kitchen and a shared TV lounge. Services like lockers, luggage storage and laundry can be requested onsite.

In the beginning, I made a reservation for only three days, and when I saw the treatment of the staff, I made a reservation for another three days. They were very wonderful, as if they were family, and they cared about the smallest details. The location was very excellent and close to most tourist attractions

Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The beds are very comfy and the silence is the best. I’ve never seen a hostel like this before. They were always there when I needed. I will definitely recommend this hostel to everyone I know!
