Came back to stay for a second time in 5years. Unfortunately, it wasnt as good as last. I was told I had to move mid stay to another one of their hostels as they were closing it. No breakfast provided on my final morning, I was told to pack up my things and run to the other hotel to get some there. Melissa was the saving grace during my stay and did everything she could to make a disastrous sitauation better. Type of hostel where the owner and his friends hang out, guests second.
