Lovely hostel with a good breakfast to get the day started! Staff are super friendly with great English and will do what they can you help you out! The location is so convenient, only 2 blocks away from the main square. Although I knew at the time of booking AC wasn’t included in the price, it would be nice if it was, but either way, it’s there if you want to upgrade to AC.

Our hostel experience was mixed. We were upgraded to a deluxe room, but then asked to move the next day which we could not because we had a tour booked early. Staff gave inconsistent laundry info ($6 vs $8). The kitchen gas was out, making us miss a paid pub crawl. Checkout was rushed, and a packing cube went missing. Hostel lacked social vibe. Positively, the deluxe room was clean, comfortable, and worth the $5 AC upgrade.
