ZZZ is a hidden gem! My daughter and I loved the warm reception we received, even though we checked in late at 11pm. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The bedding was of excellent quality, clean, comfortable, and velvet soft. The service was attentive and genuinely caring, always taking time to listen to our needs. The Chinese cuisine was top-notch, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every part of our stay reflected true value for money. A heartfelt thank you to the ZZZ Hostel and Hotel team for such professionalism and warmth. We will definitely return. I highly recommend it to everyone!!

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.
