Firstly when we arrived we had to wait at least 10 minutes for anyone to receive us at the desk. Secondly, they had someone show us to our room. He wasn't friendly and he was talking on his cell phone the whole time. Thirdly, the room they put us in smelled terrible and was run down. Fourthly a cock roach ran over my boyfriends foot while we were laying in bed. The only good things about this hostel were the cheap price and the location close to the airport.

Sorry Lara for your negative experience & terrible first impression of our family operated Townhouse Hotel / hostel. We have always had difficulty maintaining a dependable staff and of course can not always be available 24/7. I encourage all of our guests to insist on seeing 3 or 4 or more rooms before choosing the room they prefer;we have 38 rooms and 8 rooms of the type you booked. Next time ask for my wife\\\'s little sister, Elena, our daughter, Camilla or us, Bill and Lorna

Our small unisex dormitory is basic fan cooled and has 4 beds, P180 (U$4) / each but no windows;calling it a "hell hole" is unfair.

I saw some poor reviews on this place, but thought I'd stay there because it was cheap and near the airport. I'm glad I made this decision. It was nice place and we have plenty of privacy and security, especially considering the low cost. It was a nice place to spend the night after a long day of traveling.

Firstly, there were drinkers and smokers on the passage way, where I had to pass through going to my room. Secondly, the bed linens and towel are a bit brownish instead of white I suppose. Thirdly, electric fan and others fixtures in the room need changing and or fixing, so with the tile floor needs fixing. Lastly, the bed was creaking when I moved, I reckon the place was poorly managed.

This was the most expensive place I stayed this vacation, and the worst. Fix the air conditioner. Fix the broken tile. The pictures hanging at odd angles reflected the general condition of the room. Yikes.
