The location was great. Near the main street but tucked away in a quiet area.
Kitchen sink was dirty ALL the time, bits of food everywhere and the pans/pots were not in great conditions either. Sinks in the toilets had soaked tissues left there, showers had a fair bit of hair on the floor and flooded. Most guests are long term backpackers who live there, so it is very cliquey and not friendly/welcoming at all. They act like that is their own place (phone calls in the dorms when people are sleeping, coming back middle of the night and slamming doors etc). May be okay if you plan to stay longer and eventually make friends, but it is not a good hostel for people traveling. The bedrooms windows were never opened so the air was stale. The pool was also dirty and not useable.
Honestly, this place gets is not getting worse rating only because of the location and nice reception staff.
