Worst experience ever. Tye capsule rooms were like rat holes, in which you could only crawl. When I booked the room, it had pictures of 4 small horizontal cubicles. What I got was over 14 such cubicles. People had their shoes and dirty socks at the mouth of the cubicle. Warning to one and all: Dont throw your hard earned money with Uplan Hostel.

I was utterly disappointed with my stay at Unplan, and this is my view in good faith. The two nights that I stayed in the mixed dormitory were the worst of my stay ever in a hostel. The capsule rat hole was a little bigger than an oversized coffin. My head bumped against the celing every time I crawled in there. The rate for one night was above $150 and the other night was $170. For the life of me, I couldn't understand why I was charged differently each time. The mouth of the rat hole , ie, the entrance of the capsule room had shoes of strangers from the occupants of other capsule rooms. The free breakfast had one hard white bread, margarine instead of butter. I can go on and on but instead, my sincere advice is 'Take your business elsewhere if you value your money'.

I think what makes this a good hostel is the location and its well known. It was clean and close to everything you want to do. Good place to meet travelers, walking tour Saturday and a decent happy hour. Its right next to seven eleven so a lot of people grab drinks there and bring them back to the hostel. I didnt feel like the staff was real very or had anything else keep the environment social.
