“Loved it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2011

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 all the other travellers very communal, and had no troubles. I would have stayed longer if I could spare the time.

“Only if you have to”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2011 via mobile

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

“If you're a sadistic traveller who likes getting robbed, stay here!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2010

person found this review helpful

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.

“Best hostel I have stayed in”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2010

The best hostel I have stayed in (extensively travelled). Great common area outside upstairs made it so easy to meet people. Other travellers were great! So many different nationalities. 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 judge the photos you see in searches...don't do it justice.
