The staff were incompetent, the kitchen was filthy. Lots of things went `missing´. Of a five day stay the internet (which you pay an additional charge for) didnt work for 3 of them.The staff were incompetent, the kitchen was filthy. Lots of things went `missing´.

The location is about as good as it gets for the price, and it is a fun place to meet people and hang out. However, I was disappointed in the sleeping conditions..I had reserved a 6-bed and they put me in a 10-bed and it was hot at night with little to no ventilation, I was miserable when the sun came up in the morning. Buy a big fan please!!! Floor was sticky. Other than that the location and atmosphere are great. You can't bring beer in and they close their bar at 1:00.

This way not our type of hostel. It was really for 20 somethings. They had only 1 bathroom for 10 people in a room. The breakfast was terrible. If you didn't get there in time, you got nothing. There were 2 people there that were helpful, but if they weren't there...the rest of the staff basically ignored you.This way not our type of hostel. It was really for 20 somethings.
