DONT GO. Save yourself & don't go here: unmanned reception, super weird vibes from old guy/owner?, weird emptydodgy atmosphere of hostel, beds unmade when we arrived at 8pm, STINKY unwashed bedsheets (smell of BO & food, so bad), s***-stained towels (or possibly blood..), 25 species of bugs & ants on the walls, cockroaches in the bathroom, no handsoap, shower drain blocked causing dirty water with dead bugs up to your ankles, nothing in that place has been dusted or cleaned in probably 10yrs

I’m usually not one to leave reviews but this place was rough. Had a private with a private bathroom. Our shower was so dirty and did not work. The bedroom was full of bugs and the floors were gross. All the sheets were dirty and the whole place smelled so strongly of bleach. I would not recommend staying here.
