The room smelled strange, the lights don’t work in the bathroom, and I wasn’t even given a towel. The only reason it’s not a 1 star is because the staff was helpful and responsive.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Never choose this place!Thieves are rampant here!The first time I stayed in a hostel, my cash was stolen. Although there were only three people in the quadruple room I chose, my bag was turned over while I was sleeping, and the total loss was about 1,000 pesos. The hotel did not provide any locks, and it did not provide any help afterwards. I was very disappointed.

Un poco maltratado comparado con otros Selinas, no tenían llaves y es muy molesto estar pidiendo que te abran, hasta para ir al baño es molesto!
