not as hoped

hygiene, people in my room were friends with the staff, so everything could log everywhere without anything being done about it

is ok for a few nights

We had a twin room which was nice in itself, but the humidity in the room is extreme! If you don't open the window and the air conditioning isn't on the dehumidifier (this makes the room very cold), the carpet and the wall will be wet the next morning.

1 night but no more! We won't come back

Average reception. The hostel is very cramped, it looks like it is at the back of a kitchen. The prevailing smell is very unpleasant. The private room is dark and depressing, smell of damp. No real common areas and the fridges are outside the kitchen, not very practical.

Very clean and friendly staff

It was a bit noisy, the cooling of the refrigerators was very annoying at night.

It was my only option since there were no other rooms in the city, they gave me a roof and a bed, which I am grateful for.

I didn't like the issue of not having a card and having to download an app, I couldn't leave the room leaving my cell phone charging and after a long day of work I arrived with 1% battery and was able to enter the hotel, it should exist an alternative to that. When I entered the smell was horrible, the same with the kitchen. Then it got better, it seemed rustic to me, the first floor is very shabby.

Fantastic and charming location

The door to the shared bathroom on the first floor does not lock and the water pressure in the shower is weak. However, there were bathrooms and toilets everywhere, so it was rare to encounter other guests.

a gloomy place

A place with zero hygiene, dirty walls, dirty bathrooms. All very messy. There is a very loud noise from a generator, zero security measures (it was the garbage disposal area of ​​the nearby restaurants, also only once and luckily we were able to see someone at the Concierge. Breakfast is served at a ridiculous time, considering The tours leave at 07:30 to 08:00 (breakfast is from 09:00 to 10:00) we were never able to try it. The bathrooms are mixed.

It's worth it :)

There is almost no daylight in the rooms (separate double room), the lighting in the room makes you feel like you are in a basement. We found very long dark hair on the bed There is no pool however the public pool is in close proximity. The entrance was hard to find, no signage, etc. Rather distracting signs from nearby restaurants.

excellent quality price.

I feel the housekeeping could improve more. the kitchen was always dirty, the bathrooms in the rooms, I was there for a week and did not see them being cleaned. I think they can improve the cleanliness of the place

Good hostel

There is only one toilet and shower in the room for 12 people, so I can't shower for a long time. Also, the bed is a little too soft for me and I sink, but I can sleep well 😊

It is very nice

There is a lot of noise in the yard at night, drinking and loud music until 12:00 on some days.
