Alley Youth Hostel

The heater work well during winter

Quite far from metro station. No lift

The staff are very helpful, friendly and speak good English. They arranged a dumpling making class, which was fun and very tasty! The food in the restaurant is delicious, reasonably priced with good vegetarian options. Free WiFi- good connection most of the time. The communal area is nice with lots of sofas, tv projector and a pool table to use. They have half price cocktails on Fridays!

Although the cocktails were cheap and tasted lovely, they didn’t have the ingredients for half the cocktails on the menu. This isn’t a critique of the hotel, but if you are vegetarian/vegan you might struggle with the location, as the surrounding street food is just meat and fish everywhere. I suggest you just eat at the hotel!

1. Facility is new (maybe renovated) 2. Room is clean 3. Location is nearby Muslim street

1. Do have air con, but no central heating supply during winter (from talking with restaurant owner at Muslim street, the whole district has no central heating supply, guess because of culture difference) 2. Power outage happened once during my stay (not sure if this is occasionally or frequently happened, especially during winter) 3. Compared with similar hostels, the price is not cheap
