First of all, the owner is a wonderful lady, very friendly and helpful. She has given me several recommendations on where to eat and what to do in the area.The location itself is great with several good restaurant around, Seven Eleven and temples. The place is impeccably clean. CP comes personally and leaves it spotless clean and with good smell every day. This place is for girls who can follow the rules and keep the room quiet at night. It's such a great place to sleep: quiet, clean and the air conditioner works really well. I met girls from China, Spain, Germany and Malaysia. It's great place to make friends🙂

Absolutely everything! The place was new, clean, lovely finishings and great lighting. The air conditioning worked well. They offered free coffee and snacks every day for guests. They allowed early check in when our room was ready and all the staff were so lovely. We actually moved from a previous accomodation that was terrible and we were so happy when we arrived to Amore Stay. Fantastic location, wonderful owners. Would definitely stay again!

The stay was very lovely, from the beginning the concierge was splendid to assist us before the check in and ensure we have a lovely trip by suggesting us a beautiful itinerary and list to enjoy during our stay. The room was very comfortable and complete with all necessities needed, even earpiece incase it gets loudly in the area. Kudos to the team 👍🏻👍🏻, and will definitely stay again on the place in future.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
