Good location, nice staff when available,interesting and cool building. On the downside the dorm was dark, noisey, pillows rubbish and one power point between ten of us. I wouldn't stay here again.

We had a lot of trouble finding the hostel because neither the address nor the phone number were included on my reservation confirmation page. We asked around and no one knew about the hostel, but we were eventually able to find a number and call to find out the address.

Great hostel! Easy walking distance to the old part of the city, beautiful old renovated building, large swimming pool and staff were fantastic! Mattias was particularly friendly and helpful. Staff are very chatty with all guests and create a great atmosphere for meeting fellow travellers. Highly recommend staying here!

It is a great place! The staff is amazing and more than just helpful! They even invited us to join their private party and share some beer with them. The rooms a clean, with a lot of light, the breakfast is good and the kitchen is superbig and very clean, too! The place is nice, with a clean pool and nice rooms to hang out and chill... Everything is just amazing in that place That is the best hostel I have ever been!!!

Really cool building with lots of cool rooms & spaces & a pool. Location is good. Easy walk to Main Street and 10 mins to old town. Kitchen is fairly spacious. Unfortunately when we were there it was really quiet, even the it was evident that this hostel desperately needs more chairs & comfy places to sit especially considering the wifi only works downstairs. Dorms ok, nice big lockable draws under beds. Long stayers in 12bed dorm means you can feel like you're in their personal bedroom.

Really nice, clean hostel in a beautiful old building. Reception staff were very helpful and spoke good English. Lots of room in the dorms - like having your own bedroom compared to some hostels that cram you in! A fairly quiet hostel, not much going on, although I only stayed for one night, so that might have just been a quiet day!

When first checked in, I was very impressed with the hostel. It's housed in a very classical colonial building. However everything went downhill from there on. First I requested to use their phone to make a local call to my tour guide to schedule for the next day pick up. They refused to allow me to do that. How much would it cost them for a local call for maybe 1 or 2 minute? And they continue to refuse even when I offer to pay them back. Also the Internet, the kitchen, the sink aren't working!

It's a clean hostel and the staff is helpful, but it's not very well organized, as they put us in the wrong room in the first night. Then, we had to move to another room, so it was kind of annoying. Besides, the wifi does not work at all, although the internet on the computer they had there worked pretty well.

Ukelele hostel has a nice atmosphere with great staff, kitchen and swimming pool area. Location is great, Breakfast is average like others. The only thing is sheets are not so clean and unfortunately i found a few bedbugs in my bed. But they gave me new sheets and new bed in a minute at 3 am so i slept very well! Thanks for your help!

This is a beautiful and excellent Hostel!!!!. Clean room and bathrooms. Great and helpful staff. I really enjoyed the pool and the nice atmosphere of this old house, nicely decorated. Good kitchen but i don't waste my time cooking when i can go to great restorants with the best meat!!, it is a great location to walk around. I book one night but change my trip to stay longer , because i had a great time here.
