Not recommended. Cranky beds, congested rooms, poor amenities and inflexible owner who doesn’t allow slightly late check-ins. Additionally, the location given on hostelworld is incorrect which is kind of sketchy. They send you a different location afterwards and tell a person will meet you at this location to bring you to the place. Weird! Overall: 4-5/10 (that too, because of the good nature of Jon), so do not fall for this one unless you run short of options!

Great place to stay. Very budget friendly, a short trip from the airport, near center city, restaurants, and convenience stores. The area is safe and the owner/manager is very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend.
