The pictures definitely do not do the place justice. We stayed in the 'garage' room. If you are well travelled the condition of a hostel should not really bother you. The bathrooms are cleaned every day, free internet, greatest common area (a lot of hostels really lack this), and less than 3 minutes to the street markets :) I found... More

Unorganized. Unprofessional. Bro/frat house feel. People who work there are so wrapped up in their own business they are inconsiderate of their guest. More

My first tip, don't stay here. I was robbed by the family that runs the place, no respect, and they ripped me off cash as well and tried to hold my passport ransom. It wasn't until I contacted our consulate that things got figured out. More

Staff are very helpful, rooms always cleaned, bathrooms in each room cleaned regularly, aircon in some rooms, fans in others, but hardly needed. So close to the beaches and clubs. Don't... More

The room itself has no walls but is open air with the main wall a mismatch of wooden poles. This is great for ventilation and even better at night when we were all constantly attacked by mosquitos. I... More

We had booked this place from home and when we arrived there it was shut down. No notice on the door and no message on the answering machine explaining why it was closed. I had already paid in advance! We ended up staying down the street at the hotel Rosa which cost us another $56. On the way back through... More
