We planned to stay here for 3 nights, but left after the first. Arrived in the evening, surprised to step in a pub-like place, with smoke in the air and loud music. There is no reception desk, you have to check in at the bar, it should have alarmed us already, but we were tired from an 8 hour bus ride. We stayed at room 14 facing the garden, at first sight it looks quite cosy with its dark red painted walls, but after a closer look, the walls are cracked everywhere, the door doesnt close properly, there were ants running along the basin. The garden was a mess, full with rotting leafs and cut branches.
We did not get much sleep at night. First the cafe in the hostel, which closed around 12 30-1 oçlock was playing loud music, then the garden filled with people continuing the party in the open. Meanwhile next door there was a live concert till 4 in the morning with the bass so loud, that we couldnt sleep even with earplugs. From 6am onwards we had to listen to the church bell and the washer-dryer going off just outside the room.
Cant say much about the restaurant, when they wanted to charge us 1 dollar 60 cents for a half a liter bottled water, we decided not to eat there.
If you go there with your friends for party, it might be your place. Otherwise dont count on meeting people or get a good night sleep here.
