Very weird vibe at this hostel - a lot of people upset about the price after coming from cheaper countries and expecting more than this hostel could provide, so there was some rude behaviour. Some people live there permanently - they socialize together but otherwise in my 5 days there people kept to themselves. Wifi isn’t good in the rooms so people hung out in the common area to use their devices, sometimes noisily. AC in the bedrooms is only allowed on from 8pm to 9am.
The woman who manages this hostel is so lovely, helpful & hardworking. The bathrooms in particular are very clean. But the owners are never around and their choice to only have a 4 hour check-in window is unrealistic and very frustrating for everyone. People came to leave or pick-up bags but we weren’t supposed to let people in we didn’t know and no staff was around to ask. It made for awkward situations & a potential security risk to just have them coming & going. They need more staff in shifts to solve the issue.
