DON'T STAY HERE!! Completely abandoned, dirty, and awful in every way! Poo in the toilet, no toilet paper, dirty sheets. Springs sticking out of the mattress, pillows completely covered in mold!

Found the hostel by coincidence and I found it very nice and honestly I really don’t understand why there is so many negative comments. The hostel is very central and the staff is super friendly that treated me like a family. The hostel is basic but it’s very authentic experience, definitely will come back!!!
