This hostel has great potential, but is in desperate need of maintenance! The staff are really nice and helpful, and speak excellent English. But...
- location is an ok area of town, not great to come home to at night
- rooms really need fixing up
- bathrooms, are short of gross. Too few bathrms for the amount of guests. Yes, they clean them a few times a day (although every 30min is an exageration, as their website claims), but this is not enough to offset the quantity of people using them. Added to that, you always have to queue, as there aren't enough
- Kitchen: really basic, average clean, gross fridge, and it's in the garden, rather random.
- No sound insolation, so you sleep and wake-up with everyone else.
- Garden: ok, the grass is missing though
What's good: the breakfast is fine.
In short, you get what you pay for, at $45 a night you can't complain
PS Vina is also really overrated, and super expensive. Save your money and go up the coast to Renaco, buzzing and much nicer!
