Being on the ground floor room, there was no ac or fan. It was hot during the day, no air came through with the window wide open. A fan was given but it was tiny and absolutely useless for a large room. Open window also meant loud music and noise from the bar next to the hostel till 11pm/12am. Hostel itself is clean and spacious but it’s a shame they don’t put more care into the bottom floors for basic ventilation during summer

The only redeeming feature was that it was close to the beach. Not a very social hostel at all. Staff not very friendly. No air conditioning and they have a bar open to the public just outside our rooms so it’s noisy until 12AM.

Un sitio bien ubicado pero con un precio exageradamente caro para compartir cuarto con tantas personas. He tenido varios percances durante mi estancia. Además, no había aire en la habitación y pasé mucha calor. Las sábanas no eran adecuadas para la cama, lo cual me ha causado molestias por la noche. El wifi tampoco funcionaba. El sitio está bien pero me parece muy caro, habiendo algunas cosas mejorables.
