I like the cats. They are lovely. And it's very convient near cenang mall. Can walk to cenang mall no more than 10mins. There is a zus coffeeshop there. Also Starbucks. And you must try the Subway (near zus coffeeshop) the bread is amazing. Haaaa the atmosphere in boxpackers is super good. Ppl r friendly. I think I will stay there next time. Explore more thru rent a car. I have a license but need to practice my driving skill. Also the chocolate in Langkawi is very cheap cos duty free. Also Guinness beer must try, cheaper than SG. Everything in SG is expensive. Everyone has a purpose go to another city. For me, I like the beach, the sand, the beer, the chocolate. Also the amazing ppl. And I buy the thermos kettle in duty free shop, it's my favorite green color. Hhha can't without hot water.

Very close to the main road without getting all the noise. I had a simple but spacious Family Room with a little garden in front of it. The location is at the good end of the main road, where it is a little quieter and less commercial. I booked the ferry to Koh Lipe at the lodge and got a good price including transfer to the ferry terminal.

    What a fab hostel! The staff were super friendly and helpful. The cleanest hostel we've ever stayed at and everyone was very respectful. Great common area to meet other travellers and a good setup for those wanting to work remotely. Great location - the night market is a must and the restaurant under the café was amazing for a cheap breakfast!

    The hostel was a great location, close to the beach! It was good value for money and the private room was exactly what we needed for our time there (3nights). June was helpful - we booked the mangrove tour with him and would 100% recommend (it was interesting and good value) and the bar at the back of the hostel was also good and cheap drinks!

    Chill and welcoming hostel in great location, walking distance to two beaches. June is the most friendly and helpful host ever! Also, if you are a cat lover, this is the place to be! The hostel is located next door to the best bar in Langkawi, Brian’s Bar, which is great for meeting people! Comfy beds and full kitchen. Great value too.
