Traveller's Lodge

There's something nice about being handed the front door key and allowed to come and go when you please. It feels a bit like you own house. The Traveller's Lodge has a 24 hour reception and video camera surveillance so be assured it's safe as houses. The reception area is bare but friendly and guests have access to 24 hour DVD movies on the television and internet if you bore of the activity outside in the Chinatown markets (unlikely).

The rooms are all fairly spartan but clean with double bunk beds in the rooms and either a fan or air conditioning. It's set on a street just out of the main hub of Chinatown so don't worry about not being able to sleep at night. The Traveller's Lodge has all the usual hostel perks like internet, travel transfers, sightseeing tours, van hire, refreshments for sale and book exchanges. Obviously it changes from day to day but I found in the middle of the day even people came back here to hang out in the lounge for a bit to escape the heat outside and it's centrally enough located that you could come back for a bit of a siesta or a break from the city action.
