This is the best Hostel I have ever stayed at, I have been to Hostels all over the United States and Mexico and not one of them has ever made me feel like I am part of their Hostel Family. They are great people the Staff and the Owner I enjoyed my Conversation I had with Her. I am not quite sure why there has been negative reviews but from my personal experience they are very untrue, the place is clean and the staff and people are A+ Would recommend this Hostel to anyone! Will book again!

The staff is really friendly and helpful. However some of the other guest seemed kinda strange. Many seemed to live there. The rooms also looked like it. I m not the tallest person so it was really difficult climbing in the upper bed without a ladder or a chair to step on.

Luckily we were only staying one night and we were so tired from travelling that we didn't care too much about the state of the place. It really needs some care and attention put into it. Our bed was SO noisy, it woke us whenever we turned over. We only had 1 pillow between 2 people. We were not able to close the bedroom window and there are no real curtains in place. I took one look at the bathroom and decided to wait for the next hostel before I washed - it was not nice!

Have never complained on hostelworld before. This hostel had an anti-drinking policy which we found very hypocritical as the owners 6 foot 4 son freaked out on us in a drunken rage which involved slaps to the face, tables being thrown and death threats, with no provocation. He then turned his attention to other guests and even pushed his own mother. The police we're called but then ordered away for some reason letting the son go to sleep out the back of the hostel. Will never recommend!

They had fleas. Now after one night in their establishment I have fleas. I should have read the google reviews of this place which accurately state that they have fleas. WTF?!

The fleas have been treated and are regularly treated now. I am sorry you had problems.
