Personally, the vibes were weird. Staff was nice, the hostel (people and facilities) were more of an older vibe. Be warned linens are not provided (which I think is crazy). The bathrooms/showers were okayisg, they did however provide shampoo and body wash for you. However, I did not feel the safest and did not think it was worth the money.
