I am newer to hostels, but I have stayed in several and have a general idea of what to expect. Communication wise, they were excellent. They asked about the time I was to check in. When I responded that it was what they considered ”after hours”, they made arrangements for me to have keys ready and available for me to enter the building and my room with no issues, They were easy to get in touch with after hours with problems, as I arrived and my room had not been cleaned (dirty linens, half empty water bottle, dirty towel on the floor, hair on the pillows, etc. They apologized profusely, and gave me free breakfast for my stay. However that was only available after 8am everyday and consisted of small pastries and cereal. Facilities were ok. The internet functioned, as did the AC in my room. There was a washing machine that was available, and worked well. There was also a fridge and freezer that travelers could keep items in. The only thing is the kitchen (which also housed the washing machine) was only open after 8am, so if you needed to be somewhere before then, you were out of luck, as the room was locked. There was supposed to be a desk and reading lamp in my room, neither of which was present. Also, note, that there are only 2 bathrooms. One for men on the 3rd floor and one for women on the 2nd floor. So, I ended up staying on a floor with a bathroom I couldn't use and had to go to a different floor every time I needed something in the bathroom-- not too convenient. Cleanliness: ignoring the room being dirty at check- in, the hostel didn't seem to clean to me. Im not sure how often they clean, but it didn't appear to be a daily thing- especially the bathroom. All in all, I would not recommend this place for anyone unless there were no options or unless staying near the beach was mandatory (<5minute walk).
Very Good
