That staff is very friendly, breakfast is not bad but unfortunately it is the only thing we can give to this hostel. The condition of the room are poor. Bed bugs (not infested but we found some anyway).Open holes in the ceilings / walls. Very noisy at night. I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone.
