Above all, it operates a Tour Desk to help guests to make arrangements for tour and transportation, including cross border tours to Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. The Tour Desk is manned by an experienced Travel Manager who works full-time.   Accommodation Information This Hostel is indeed “A Home Away from Home”.
