I stayed in a dorm so there is not a real mystery. A fine place to stay and of course it’s the cheapest in town.

Happily Surprised
Having never stayed in a hostel, I was not real sure it was the right thing for me. I am a 76 year old woman, single and thought it would be noisy and more appropriate for a 20-30 year old. To my surprise there were guests of all ages, from all over the world. My stay was very pleasant! I stayed in a mixed shared dorm room another risky move by me however it was great with 3 women and 1 young man from Austria.

Advertised as having ac but the property doesn’t have AC at all. I asked to leave and get a refund but no refund receipt was provided. I hope everything goes accordingly to plan and they get the ad corrected.
