Hostel is nice. Private room was spacious and clean. We had stayed in 2 Ches prior to this one so were aware it is a ‘party hostel’ but were happy enough with our experience in previous Che’s. However, the noise from the bar particularly on a Saturday is at an antisocial level until about 3am. There was also really loud kareoke until 2am on the Tuesday. The bass made the walls vibrate. This is worth keeping in mind if you have early starts for excursions or onward travel.

huge hostel with so many places to chill, good pool area and rooftops. great activities, boat tour very fun with great staff. hostel is 18+ and unfortunately there was a group of 20 children on a school trip which commandeered the hostel and ruined the vibe.
