The hostel was definitely worth the money, the location more than perfect! If u just search a cheap place to stay and sleep, thats where u should go! I would recomend that hostel to all my friends, we\\\'ve been very pleased! The only thing which I do not appreciate is that they tell u it\\\'s a 4bed dorm and on the end u just have a 4bed space in a 20bed dorm - not clear in the description - we upgraded for the 6bed private room which is perfect!

Not a social hostel. Everyone kept to themselves. It was awkward. Cleaning done once daily. Toilets were clogged few times and overall the place, while not super dirty had a dingy feel to it. Has a lot of potential though. Unbeatable location, close to main strip. Staff was nice too. Recommend creating common room, offering group activities such as club/bar hopper, local tour, or get-together at a local bar, and market with a fun theme. Also keep clean/fresh smelling. Minor upgrades to inside.

A lot of theft. Bad accommodation 20 people in 1 room. Only cold water.

The staff was excellent. Really nice and helpful. But that's the only positive thing I can say about the place. It's in an old closed-up mall with the stores converted into hostel rooms. There was no real air-conditioning or useful fan and the window wouldn't open so it got really hot. The shower was clearly rarely cleaned and didn't drain properly. I could feel springs in the bed and the pillow was all lumps. I've stayed at over twenty hostels in my life and this one ranks in the bottom three

Great location, just in the hotel zone, near the beaches and the parties. The room and the place are clean and nice, but it was so empty and quiet that it seemed more like a haunted hotel. Also very poor breakfast. But it has potential to be a great place.
