Looks like this hostel is over its prime time. A bit run down all over. Very few people that stayed for more then 1 night, and often just because the Baz bus had its first and last stop there for the day. The pool was nice though.

The garden withe the swimming pool is really cool and refreashing, but the room was a mess.

Is it possible to define what you mean by a mess please? We take cleanliness very serious and I would like to address this matter. I do realise that you stayed in a dorm> is it possible that the room was a mess because of other guests sharing the space?
