Ctrip: There was a small episode, and Ctrip actively helped to deal with it. Although the problem has not been completely solved, thank you very much
Front desk of the youth hostel: The aunt who doesn't like the front desk is very aggressive, and the other two young girls at the front desk are very gentle.
Facilities: You need to bring your own disposable toilet seat to sit in the toilet, and there is another toilet that is not easy to flush.
Hygiene: The beds in the room are clean, but the chairs are a bit dirty.
Environment: The location is very good in the city center, the transportation is convenient, and the night market is in front of it, which is only very lively on Fridays and Saturdays. The hotel provides breakfast, bread, instant noodles, and coffee.
If I go alone next time, I will choose here again.

It is a very good and friendly place for backpackers, very friendly staff. It is in the central of the city, all the eatery and banks in a walking distance. It is about 15 minutes walk to the jetty where can get boats to the islands surrounding.
