I slept there only 2 hours, because my flight arrived at 3am and I booked a tour leaving at 7am. So I didn't have enough time to have real thoughts on the hostel.

after reading all the comments i was a little bit scared, but the hostel was pretty good! Clean room, clean showers, clean pool, it is low season now, so it was also pretty quiet! Great if your adjusting to a new country!

The roms were filthy, we arrived at about 2am in the morning and although we had booked months before our twin share room was unavailable so we got stuck in a dorm room with no bathroom as requested. Also extremely overpriced. Will definately not be returning sorry to say, was a huge disapointment.

The room was sooo basic it was terrible. We booked a twin months before arrival when we arrived at 2 am we were given a dorm. No bathroom as booked. Dirty and smelly and will not be recommending your lodge to anyone. Over priced is an understatement.

In a city with little choice in terms of hostel price variation or facilities, the character of a place becomes really important. Unfortunately, sleazy reflects the character of this hostel. The kitchen and bathrooms were filthy, the staff unfriendly and ignorant (giving bad advice re airport transfers), rooms tiny, room lockers broken, overpriced, aircon broken, too few showers (and badly designed), no fridge space - but if you're drunk or sleazy, you might love it.

I really liked this place, pool area was really nice and location was good. Only problem were some of the staff were a not rude. Not all of them but a couple of the girls.

The rooms are way too cramped with two bunkbeds. It is hard to walk between them to get to your bed.
