Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    We got what we needed. A comfy bed for two nights, swimming for the kids, and a great location-a few steps away from QueenCity Mall.

    Cleanliness. I booked based on booking’s rating and it did not disappoint. The juices are amazing and the bed very comfortable. Safe for solo female traveller. The hotel design comes across as a funky hostel vibe but I wasn’t too fussed. The room was clean and sheets clean that mattered most to me.

    Great location in the old town just to be revitalized in a going out quarter with a lot of restaurants and other event spaces around. The design is what is probably called live style hotels today. Colourful and a bit fancy but nice overall. The station is about 10 minutes walk away from the Tawang train station.

    Absolutely loved my stay at this apartment! The location was not only convenient but added a delightful touch to my experience. The cleanliness was impeccable, and I can't thank the host enough for being exceptionally helpful. The apartment lived up to expectations, just like the photos portrayed. If you're looking for a place that combines a great location, cleanliness, and a supportive host, this is it! Highly recommended for a memorable stay.

    Cheap with good bed and AC, WiFi, close to the airport but that’s it. Looks great from the outside but the inside was disappointing
