Might’ve gone on an off couple of nights but there was absolutely no social atmosphere. The staff were super nice and the dogs are really cute. No curtains, no ac, beds were kind of dingy. Rooftop was nice. About 20 mins walk from the main beach. Value was good cheaper than most hostels but I came because of the good reviews for atmosphere and was dissapointed
