good hostel well located and with nice staff. I has a problem with my bed's plug and they were amazing. Rooms aren't awesome, especially the cheaper one (too small), but common areas are good

I had a metalic filament or sth in my power socket that I didn't see and when I tried to put my phone to charge I almost got electrocuted. The electricity in the room stopped and had to go down at 1AM to look for sb. The room without window is really a hard to live in. The AC was too cold, then too hot and the air in the room wasn't really circulating properly. In general it was okay but all things considered it was overpriced
