Roi House

The guesthouse is clean. This I won't complain about. Location is quite fine close to a green park where you can have a morning jogging, long walk and enjoy the atmosphere around in the evening. Lots of eating places nearby. And it values money to stay here.

I stayed in the 4 bed female dorm. The first night was a bit noise from packing and unpacking after 11 pm and was interrupted by the light in the dorm as there was no curtain available. The lobby area I would assume that is a part of the coffee shop area on the first floor of the house. However i still not really felt convenience to sit and chill. It would be better to have a separated lobby / community area. Of course there is a space with chairs and table in the dorm but it is not a chilling area still.

Very nice guest house with cafe & photo shoot studio!!! It's so good to take a pictures!!

There's is no reception desk or staff to be contact or find any help.. I maybe disturbing the cafe staff or the photographer that is not the person incharge.. so sorry for them.

The interior of the hostel was clean and of a good standard. The beds were very comfortable and it was quiet at night so we got a good night's sleep. Location was also very good.

There was nobody from the hostel to check us into our room or talk to throughout our stay. Someone from the cafe downstairs dealt with our booking but he had to keep calling the manager of the hostel to answer any questions we had. Also breakfast was a bit disappointing. There was a notice to say that milk and juice were in the fridge but on the first morning there was no milk or juice available. There was only a small amount of cornflakes too. I mentioned this to the people in the cafe. The next morning there was juice in the fridge but still no milk. So that was a bit disappointing. The 3F showers were really good, but I moved down to the 2F on my second night and the showers on this floor weren't as good, there wasnt much pressure and the water would switch between being either extremely hot or freezing cold.

The location was good and it was cheap.

It was too noisy, a lot of party people making noise at all hours. The bed was really uncomfortable, the mattress was really hard.

I walked from the rail station amongst a vibrant group of young people, passing cool resturants, shops, and great vibe of the area. my stay was on a sweet quiet street, welcomed by a young man at the Roi. He was so kind, and was greatly enthused that I discovered Roi House in my Lonely Planet Book. A great price for basic needs with comfort. I requested a 5 person room, but luckily had the room to myself, opening the window to enjoy the cool breeze during the night. a nice walk back through the park to the rail. I am 56, a solo female traveler, english speaking only, and totally happy with my stay.

Not used to a bunk bed, but it was very very comfortable, and the linens very nice. even had the Roi house signature written on the pillow.

The place is exactly as shown in the pictures, very clean and well maintained. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.

If you’re from Europe and used to sleeping with a duvet (down blanket) it may need some getting used to. The bed and mattres are covered with a regular blanket and no sheet. Also, the bed is very firm. If you enjoy sitting in bed and working on your laptop, surfing the internet, etc this may not be for you as the bed in the dorm are not next to a wall so you have nowhere to lean on to.
