Disappointing
The whole stay wasnt good had to book another hostel as it was that bad. I certainly will not be booking this again in the future. There was a odd smell that wouldnt go away as soon as i first walked into the room .Toliet door was damaged no lock. The beds were not stable. The bedsheets were filthy. I couldn't finish the stay in this one. I can say the hostel that i booked was 10 times better than this horrible one.

Pase 5 noches en este Hostel, nos dieron una habitacion al lado del baño justo donde se escuchan las vibraciones y ruidos de la cañeria de la ducha del baño de caballeros, cada vez que alguien se bañaba en la noche te despertaban.... Ruidoso, desaseado.

You get what you pay for - bed and dorm was clean, but the rest of the hostel left a lot to be desired. It felt very industrial, and the bathroom was hideous.

Nicely updated lobby and hallways; and excellent, helpful staff. While the bed was comfortable, the rooms could use a little love and the bathrooms were just okay. You can’t beat the location, though!

2/10 Poor

Staff seemed agitated all the time. Rooms were not air conditioned and there aren’t any outlets for in the rooms themselves except for a couple that had to be shared between 10 people. Wouldn’t recommend if you want a good launching point for your trip.

4/10 Fair

The location of the hostel is the only good thing about it. The rooms are jammed packed, hot and humid with 2 outlets at the most. I stayed in a 10 bed and it was unbearable. We had 2 outlets and both were used for the fans because it was so hot. The showers were very old and the water was either super hot or freezing no control of the temperature. The staff is nice but I wouldn’t recommend this place. Additionally, the name mentions it’s for youth and I was surprised to see older men in my room which is uncomfortable as a younger female.
