It was okay, nothing to call home about. Two of us stayed in a mixed 6 person dorm which ended up just being me (female) and 5 other guys. The bathrooms were dirty and we had no soap or towels. The AC does work very well but they don’t give you any blankets just one sheet. It wasn’t very social the two nights we stayed there. There were bugs everywhere and a huge roach problem in the bathroom. Everyone got a free bar drink but us :/ Located really well though in center of town and good security.

Private rooms were lovely and very clean. The pool was always a social place and great to meet people. The whole place quieted down by 10 or 11. The courtyard was the perfect chill spot. The staff were very kind and helpful. Most things were within walking distance. Overall great stay!

Location was good but hostel felt quite old. The sheets definitely need replacing and the kitchen was a bit dirty. They give out lots a free drinks which was nice but we did experience a situation where this went too far which was a shame.
