Located along the South of Beach Street, Aayu Beach St used to be a trading office and warehouse for soy sauces of a Chinese merchant. It has since been repurposed into a 12-room hostel, targeting more value-oriented guests.
While retaining its overall structure and traditional warehouse characteristics such as the cement flooring on ground floor and wooden flooring on the 1st floor, minimal yet functional windows and ceilings, new elements such as modern toilets and furniture have been added to enhance stay. Boasting 12 rooms and 5 shared toilets, this small hostel would not only provide a comfortable stay for the guests, but would also allow them to slowly experience the architecture and commercial activity of the past.
Common lounge area equipped with sofa, dining table and a small kitchenette for simple food preparation.
