We stayed here for two nights in the private room with bathroom. |Room itself was small, others around looked much bigger. The two plugs in the room were absolutely useless, one was controlling the fan and had black tape around to stop it falling out. Another didn't work and we had to charge our devices with a plug outside the room with the door open. The room was also next door to the public toilets and you can hear everything as there's only screens above the wall. Our en suite bathroom didn't look as though it was clean and a nasty smell came from the toilet in the evenings and made it unusable. |We also woke up in the night to find a cockroach on the bed and mouse droppings on our belongings. |There's a restaurant and bar to use, good prices for the beers, the food was a bit out of our budget so can't comment. |The breakfast was great, you have a good choice of food from the menu and free coffee throughout the day. |Wifi to use, though it didn't work as well in the room, worked better outside. |Not much of a backpacker vibe so wouldn't recommend for solo travellers. |The hostel is in a great location, restaurants, bars and park nearby. Staff were friendly.|If we had another room it may be different story however this is probably the worst room we've stayed during our...
Read moreThis place is great value for what you get. It is very basic and from what we understand has one non en suite room for $12/night and then a number of others with bathrooms for $17. We stayed in the non en suite and the share bathroom was fine. Decent shower with cold water and it was clean enough. The beds are reasonably comfortable and the rooms are cool enough at night and come with a fan. The rooms are open at the top, with a very sturdy mosquito net which means they can be a little noisy at times but the hostel is a pretty quite place so it isn’t really a problem unless you’re a very light sleeper. The WiFi in the hostel is good and reliable and the free included breakfast is brilliant. You choose off their actual restaurant menu and can have a proper meal with rice and beans and eggs! This is by no means luxury but it is probably the best value you will get in town and the staff and all really friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place to a budget...
Read moreI reserved three rooms for our group of six, and we each received simple, very basic rooms with clean sheets and towels, and - more importantly - a fan. It was very hot and humid during our stay, so the fan was very welcome. Use it. There are no cross breezes in this place. We were only there for two nights, but we took advantage of the airport shuttle service they offer (for an added fee), and even though they offer free breakfast, we chose to eat at Kathy's Waffle House and at the all-you-can-eat buffet at the Museo de Chocolate. This place does NOT offer a/c as an added option, so if that is important to you, go elsewhere. Also, I do like to have peace and quiet when I go to bed, so it was nice to discover that everything shuts down around 10 pm. Management was very nice, and did not stress out about when we were going to pay them. (this was never a problem... we just paid as we checked out.) Overall, we were satisfied with...
