It was a great experience being a guest on the hostel. The only thing I would recommended is that you should check the room cost because when i finished the trip and checked my expenses i discovered that they were other options to stay at almost the same price and without shared room. Shared rolm is not a problem when you have nice roomies but it is not the same case everytime.

Everything was excellent except that when they took us to the bar tour, they made some tricks. They took us to a very expensive night club, they took the girls in, but not the boys and asked for 40 dollars per person to take the guys in. It was definitely pre-arranged.

Fantastic tours run by locals were a great way to meet the others in the hostel. Location was good, so close to the subway stations. Staff were helpful and friendly. Only down side were the large dorm rooms, if you wanted to rest or sleep it would be difficult esp when sharing a room with girls who dont care about noise levels. Apart from that, a great hostel and would stay again, in a private room :)
