Such a nice hostel!! We are 4 girls travelling and didn’t realize this is an all ages hostel - so not a lot of young people. Everything was great - other than location. Felt sketchy walking around the hostel at night. Doesn’t feel like the most safe area. But rooms were perfect!!

Got sick, told them, asked for a private but was kept in a dorm. I stayed masked. Leo then lied that I’d never said I was sick, made me leave. They knew of my immunosuppressant bc they were storing it, but didn’t listen on storage so my $69k med was now bad. Next day, manager said I could stay, so Leo shouldn’t have made me leave. I’d spent $533 on the CHEAPEST hotel that night. To kick a 20yo tourist out in a bad area where she needs to quickly find meds she’ll die w/out is unacceptable

Really great location and staff! Bummer that you can’t rent a lock but was good to get a padlock. The breakfast in the facilities were great too!
