    Staff was very friendly Friendly atmosphere created by the staff. A lot of people hang out at night to chat but it's not noisy. Would definitely recommend a stay to meet up other people.

As the second hostel in the historic Chinatown area at the time, it quickly became a favorite among backpackers and travelers. The hostel's name was inspired by one of its founders, Ringo.
