I had originally booked this hostel for five nights but only stayed one. Read the reviews carefully (and on other sites) before booking. The two major reasons I left was due to the cleanliness/hygiene and security which are mentioned several times by other travelers. However, I would like to mention that the staff was very kind, understanding and accommodating. In terms of atmosphere, groups stuck together and didn't seem to mingle so it wasn't very social. Location to the town isn't bad.

The people working here were wonderful, super sweet and helpful! Beautiful outdoor area, yummy simple breakfast, nice location a short walk to the main strip. But the dorm room wasn’t great. Strong moldy mildew smell, I think because of all the rain, and not super clean. I think the private rooms were nicer though.
