You get what you pay for.

Although the hostel is close the the beach, I find the neighborhood a bit shady, uncomfortable to walk late at night. There's AC that's it's turned on at 11pm and the room gets a bit cold, I was ok with it, but others might not be. There's a lot of noise at night from other guests which makes it hard to sleep early. I also woke up with bedbug bites. The restrooms had a bad smell but they do get clean in the morning. The pool is really small, more like a decoration than an actual pool. The refrigerator looked like it hasn't been cleaned in a while

La habitación ( sin ventanas ) tenía aire acondicionado pero no podía regularse, por lo que estaba muy fresco enseguida de prenderlo y no se disponía del control como para apagarlo y prenderlo a voluntad, había que ir a pedir asistencia a recepción cada vez que se deseaba prenderlo o apagarlo.
