First time in a hostel and it was a great experience. They allowed us to check in early since our flight was a morning one. Convenient to venue we went to and all the local eatery spots. I would’ve given it a 5 stars if they had ac in the room. For a small fee of $4 you can also store your luggage in a room till your flight. Definitely would recommend people stay there.

Great location, and you generally get what you pay for. There is no 24-hour service. The sink is quite small, and luggage storage after checkout costs $4 per room. There is no housekeeping service, and towel changes cost $2 each.

Up front, I want to be clear that this is a hostel. We were pleased with a very clean room with comfortable bed. We hit a snag with check in that the late staff dealt with that night. Their response, and the follow up with us the following, goes a long way to the positivity of our stay.

The room was too hot, there was no air flow at all. The windows don't open enough and there's no fan in the room. It was also loud; people didn't abide by the quiet time rules and the sound of doors opening in the hallway really carry.
