Ok for a few days -- no free dinner
The hostel looks like it is a old motel, with all the rooms having an en-suite bathroom and toilet. It is really clean and the showers are really nice, but you really have to be lucky with the beds, the first night I stayed here it was really sh*tty and I might as well have slept on the ground. The second night however, I chose another bed in the room and it was alright. What I dont like about the hostel are the nagging signs everywhere, such as "if people dont clean up their mess in the kitchen, kitchen will close" and "checkout 10 p.m. strictly." Both are understandable but it just spoils the atmosphere. The hostel has two nice and big terraces, but unfortunately they close at 11 p.m. Here also there is no leniency -- the owner will ask you to leave ten minutes to 11 and if you're still there finishing your beer or your smoke five minutes later he'll be cranky. Another thing is the "free meals" -- of course you cant expect too much from something that's free, but I would expect something more then the two bites of dinner you get for free through the hostel. It is not a meal! All with all, not so great.
