At first I had to admit I was nervous when my taxi took me to front door. This was after all my first time staying at a hostel and everyone I knew that I shared Iwas staying at one, had nothing but negative conceptions of one. Unfortunately as I am arriving to this location, I have this concept seeded in my mindset. So, when I see graffitiin the building on the side and a tadly sketch desolate corner it's located on, I was afraid I did a mistake. It wasn't till next morning that I noticed that it'spart of their eclectic nature. Anyways,I walk up the stairs to check in and immediately my negative conceptions I had start to diminish. I was immediately intrigued by the street art concept all around me and as I'm walking up I can hear the cheer and laughter at the bar next to check in. my whole experience there was uphill from there... prolly the only advice I have is try not to get top bunk. I was super excited to hear I get one at first but every hungover morning, you forget you are not as agile climbing down as you were going up... at least that's what my drunk recollections seem to be as I climb up to the top bunk. If you were to choose a hostel to stay at for the first time, you would not be at all upset at making Fish Hostel your first time choice. Especially if you are single traveling. I got to meet so many cool people there that just wanted to have fun and party.
