    Nothing to complain about.

    The localisation in the Downtown is superb, most of atractions and good cafes and restaurants as well as money changers or mobile services is in walking distance from hostel. The ambience is basic, loft style, clean. There is a good privacy inside the dorms. The hotel staff is super helpful f.e. with bus ticket booking or giving pro tips for local transportation. They have theire own restaurant and the rooftop space open till late evening, which is very convenient in the city, where almost everything closes before 8am

    Just one thing The balcony could do with a clean up ( I know it’s monsoon ) but a wash and brush up would make it nicer

    Staff are amazing ! Lady called michelle who works reception there is super helpful and hard working she is a real asset to the place ! The rest of staff are friendly and learning hotel skills Great location and good bed , towels linen and AC works well

When we couldn’t find the convenience store at night, he walked with us to the convenience store!! Also, the other staff helped us to catch the taxi when it was heavy rain.!! We started our trip with joy because of Hood Hostel😍

    Lots of issues with cleanliness, including rat droppings in the hostel. Some parts of the hostel clearly haven’t been cleaned in a long time. The bathroom is run down, floods, smells bad and one of the taps stopped working whilst I was there. Lockers are very small.

    The staff were great. Always friendly and willing to help with any issues. They were able to advise where the nearest money exchange with good rates was, and also helped when I had issues with the room. Beds are comfortable and have privacy curtains, and charging sockets near the bed. The hostel has few issues with electricity dropping out unlike the rest of Myanmar. Breakfast was very good too.

    not a bad word to say - booked to stay again in a couple of weeks time

    one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at - I really hope the country sorts itself out soon so the tourists will come back and get to experience this place! amazing community concept, fresh/cool boho decor, ideal location, top quality restaurant/bar attached, super helpful and attentive staff and best of all the most gorgeous dogs greeting you on arrival! Laura, Luka and Lyla oh and the beds are ridiculously comfy, towels provided too and I honestly think it’s the first time I’ve ever noticed the strong smell of freshly cleaned bedding in a hostel - better than at home 😂

    Some of the self-conscious graphics are a bit much and could be toned down; the white-on-white-on-white act shows dirt and stains. Still, it has the feel of a well-branded identity and social commitment. No elevator--with the steep staircase, pity the fool who carries heavy luggage, Hood might consider installing a cardio-defibrillator on the landing and stair slide to shoot the coronary cases down to the waiting ambulances. The dorm rooms could use a few coat hooks and slightly larger lockers. Communal bathrooms have some design flaws; they could use a good cleaning to rid the mildew, and please dump the concrete sink thing—a lousy idea from the start.

    The dormitory set-up is good, with super comfortable bed mattresses, cozy space boxes, and quiet, sensical lighting. I might think twice about 'good' if the large dorm rooms were full because there isn't space between bed boxes.; your neighbor's flatulence would be not only an aural extra but a fragrance bouquet. The staff is super friendly and accommodating to the customer’s needs. There is a good, positive attitude amongst the employees. They seem happy to be there. The cats in the reception are good value, one curmudgeon and one mischief maker. Cocktails in the ground floor bar are good value, and decent food is served. Lots of greenery out front.

    The staff was absolutely lovely! They're so attentive, kind and helpful. They're delightful to interact with. The hostel is really top notch. The beds are very clean and cool and very private. There is a lot of common space and the bathrooms and showers are very clean and good. Breakfast is very tasty and good value. Overall, excellent quality for a good price.
