Overall loved my stay here. The 20 female room was good; I got a nice, cozy corner bed, clean, close to everything (especially the bathroom, very important). Shower was nice, toilet was okay. It's actually more than just a backpack hostel; it has family rooms, dining area, performing stage, pool, lookout point, everything; it's a whole site. The only part that got me a little annoyed was a little hiccup with my booking, the staff got confused about my booking twice, could improve on that.
