Do not be intimidated by bad reviews. Not a snazzy party hostel, but a nice quiet location with all the necessities. Got keys to main gate and room. AC worked great. Staff were nice and offered us games to play and fresh fruit. Location is great. Would definitely stay again. Did not see raccoon or cockroaches as other reviews mentioned. Shower also worked fine.

We ended up changing our accommodations after one night here. While all the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the location excellent. The cleanliness was not good. The shower didn’t work (very bad smelling water came out in a trickle, not usable by our standards). Raccoons on the property who get into the garbages+kitchen, other clients were not social. Cheapest hostel in town - you get what you pay for. Thankfully we were refunded for the nights we didn’t stay there. A+ on staffing.
