A great place to stay in Alor Setar
The hostel has vintage interior design and the place is cosy and tidy. It locates near the major sightseeing points, IG-able coffee shops and great local food eateries. The host is caring and shared us a lot of useful information. Originally I booked two night stays there but I decided to extend one more night after the first two days. Highly recommend of it!

民宿主人中英文都能溝通，很親切友善，很乾淨的地方，因為鄰近馬路若對外的隔音能在好些就更棒了。

前所未有新穎的體驗，讓我發現其實Hostel也可以很舒適很自在，而且有私人空間。在帳篷裡睡覺感覺就像是在露營一樣，70年代的裝潢風格讓我甫踏進就愛上了這家店，很有特色的洗手盆讓我眼界大開。A Zhi友善而熱情的介紹讓我在短短的兩天住宿裡也對Alor Setar增加了不少了解。黃昏時分別錯過隔壁回教堂迷人的夕陽，你也會和我一樣被深深的迷住哦！
