What a strange hostel. First the good, great location and very clean. However, the family who I believe owns the hostel lives on the first floor, meaning the common area, such as the dinning room, are their family spaces, having dinner together with small kids running around. The some of the staff were also quite rude. One staff member came into the dorm at 2 am, with new arrivals. He was loud and accused one of the sleeping guests of not paying even though she had. Very strange behavior.

The place needs to be much cleaner. My room didn’t have AC, and there were many bed bugs in the bed. The shower area was not clean, and the WC was too small. The only good thing about this hostel is the location.
