It could do with a new coat of paint (purple of course!) but it´s clean enough The management and staff are helpful and efficient, and generally it´s a friendly place.

Thanks for your kind comments, it was nice having you here also. If you happen to read this James, could you please indicate what specific area of the hostel you think could use a paint job? That would be so helpful to us!

Nice and clean place. Safe and nice residential neighbourhood, 15 minutes walk to supermarkets, restaurants and bars. A/c costs 5 dollars extra and you will probably need it. The hostel does not have the feel of a party hostel .when we stayed there, not much was going on anyway. Both staff and owner are helpful and friendly.
