Een backpackers kamer 2.0 met hotel allures. Een prachtige pub en restaurant en een loundry plek naast de deur. Alle medewerkers inclusief John zijn super vriendelijk. Tours boeken kan je daar ook zonder probleem. Kortom ons zien ze hier nog zeker terug. ##### Carl Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael May 17, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Nice stay for 3 nights From the outside, I was wondering if this hotel was good but once in the room, it is worth the rate, not bad or good just ok. I didn't spend a lot of time in the room mostly for sleeping. One night in the alley outside my window was 5 loud drunk guys arguing fighting off and on for about 3 hr in the early morning. I can sleep through anything so it didn't bother me. The bed was comfortable good shower pressure and hot water. One morning the power went off on the 2nd floor so they moved me downstairs where the power was still on. It was fixed quickly. Had a pipe break so there wasn't any water for a couple of hours until it was fixed. it didn't affect me. There is a restaurant downstairs and many others in the area, Chinatown. There is a bar close by one night had loud music playing until real late. There is a laundry next door who does a great job and very friendly guy. Hotel staff were nice no English but not a problem. Wifi ok clean room comfortable bed no English speaking tv channels so bring your computer or iPad to watch downloaded movies or Netflix. I would stay here again, the rate was worth it. ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 13, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very nice staff and clean room. I had a doubleroom with 1 doublebed and a window on the upper floor. The restaurant downstairs serves local food and beer. Location is nearby the coast, all spots in town are walkable within a few minutes. I would book at John's place again! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Juaini Amalina Jul 4, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Walker The hotel is clean and strategic if u dont have a vehicle.

To be improved: nothing in particular. Maybe an overhaul on the system to link up the few different blocks of John's place rooms so the owner can manage it even more easily and avoid slight confusion to the visitors of the guest (they may not know which block to go to and some ppl r shy to ask) ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sian Chiew Nov 19, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Clean and comfortable to stay, but Friday night and Saturday night there will be loud music from disco nearby. The staffs are helpful, polite and friendly.

Very kind and helpful owners - we even got a free ride to the airport! Great food at Johns Place restaurant just below the rooms. The bar plays club music until 5 or 6am at weekends which was very loud and kept us awake so be warned of that! Rooms vary, some our small and a bit musty, others bigger and brighter. The owners are the main pull here as they were so nice. Great for backpackers on a budget. ##### Sarah ### 6/10 Okay #### Joe, Miri Aug 18, 2016 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness #### Close to Average Given the different room from what I'm paying for.
