As I’d like to share, during my recent 6-day trip, I spent the first 5 days at Artbuzz and my final day at Zostel. Zostel has a fantastic common area, especially when there are games or group activities happening—it’s a great way to pass the time and meet people. However, the dormitory rooms are quite basic; they lack air conditioning and proper ventilation, and for the price, they feel a bit underwhelming, especially when compared to Artbuzz. The staff at Artbuzz are very professional, and their dormitory facilities are far superior.
If I choose to stay at Zostel in the future, it would be primarily for the engaging social environment and activities, which are excellent for travelers looking to connect and spend time. But if comfort and relaxation are my priority, I would definitely prefer Artbuzz.
