This place has the charm of a prison, and beds to match. Our room had not been cleaned from the prior guests and there was rotting food in the closets. It has a serious institutional vibe with metal frame beds and concrete floors, walls, ceiling. We have stayed in many other hostels and this one was by far the worst.... More

I think if you are travelling with someone it's best to avoid hostels - it's simply cheaper to stay in a hotel.
