Been travelling around the world for 6 months and this is one of the worst I’ve stayed at. Very dirty and basic. One communal area which is outside all the dorms where people stay up all night playing music and shouting. Sounds like they are in the room. This happened every night and went on at least until 7am when I left for the day. No staff in hostel to manage.

Owner asked for an honest review: Can’t recommend if you value cleanliness or sleep. The kitchen is constantly filthy—dirty dishes piled up, food splattered everywhere. Dorm rooms are cluttered and unkempt. The ‘community’ vibe means loud parties until 3 AM. The whole place reeks of stale smoke and weed. I booked 2 nights but left after one, paying extra just to escape. Only stay if you prioritize partying over hygiene. Pictures on google maps: https://goo.gl/maps/DbbCw6tjsjheKoUZ7?g_st=ac
