Our dorms have double bunk beds and are in a large area with plenty of personal space.
This is to keep the space :
1. Airy- PODs partitioned walls are not full to the ceiling to promote good air circulation 2. Bright- thus no curtains just tinted windows 3. Clean- no shoes and no smoking on all floors Each floor has two eco friendly kampong (village) design hot water shower cabins.
Central air con units are placed stratigically to cool the floors and all designs and themes that have been put up are chosen as best to compliment and promote our eco friendly theme, which is, to be simple, and always go green = less is best, and when traveling, respect the earth!
Toilets and bathrooms are shared.
