Absolutely everything! The place was new, clean, lovely finishings and great lighting. The air conditioning worked well. They offered free coffee and snacks every day for guests. They allowed early check in when our room was ready and all the staff were so lovely. We actually moved from a previous accomodation that was terrible and we were so happy when we arrived to Amore Stay. Fantastic location, wonderful owners. Would definitely stay again!

The hostel staff was very welcoming and kind. They also prepared an itinerary for us, which was really nice! There is free water, coffee… The rooms are clean and have everything they need. The bathroom facilities were also clean. We lost something there and the staff was so kind and sent it to us all the way to Kuala Lumpur - all in all, very good price-performance ratio, nice staff and cozy environment.

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.
