I enjoy hostels in general. I’ve stayed in many of them throughout the years. Sadly this was underwhelming.
Staff here is nice and accommodating, sharing about the city and what to do.
Sadly the place needs a major fine tuning.
The showers run hot, meaning one has to shower in a very uncomfortable hot water temperature.
Shampoo/body-wash boxes are ether broken off the wall or empty.
The beds are metal and squeaky. Easy to wake up in the middle of the night since it’s a bunk bed system.
No privacy curtains so if someone turns their bed light the room lights up. Bring good ear plugs and an eye cover if you want to get some rest.
Our room was facing a terrace but the window lock was broken. Good thing no one entered.
The AC was off during the check in so I had to request to have it turned on. It’s a common AC system so you’ll have to wait a few hours until the room is not humid hot.
Evenings were cool in May and I would have opened a window but there is no bug screen present and the terrace is used by smokers.
For a solo economical traveler I would check out other hostels. If you’re in a group I would look to rent an Airbnb private place for the needed comfort rest and accommodations.
