Cockroaches in bathrooms, cockroaches in dining area and in common areas. Dirty, lots of black mold in bathrooms and showers. Hot, smelly rooms. Rickety beds, swayed plenty when going up or down bunk beds.

Decent hostel. Kitchen was dirty, narrow and small (basically a hallway), but was still useable. Staff were nice. They have a restaurant on site that made a great veggie burger. Central to bus station and downtown. Not sure if I would stay again.

It’s a very old and a bit dilapidated building with dodgy narrow stairs. Room was so basic and a bit grungy. The room wasn’t ready which was annoying. The best thing was the locality to everything. Staff were inexperienced and when I ordered coffee I burnt my mouth from the scorching water.

The staff were fabulous when I requested to move room after finding considerable mould. Overall the cleanliness was pretty atrocious, but you get that when you can trade cleaning for free nights. Overall, the vibe of the place is chill and kinda cool and the location is great - far enough away to be quiet, but close enough to easily walk to everything, including the beach.
