This hostel was quite possibly the worst I have seen. It's very run down, the rooms are extremely basic and very small. As for air conditioning, it was non-existent. The showers are more like a dribble on your head and are hopeless, especially for girls who need to wash their hair!

A few good things about this hostel: it has the best air-conditioning I've experienced. The dog was great. The staff were very helpful. The pool was nice. The lounge and relaxing area needed work — it was basically a massive garage, with tons of junk in the back. It had some couches, a community TV, tables and chairs. The crowd here was rowdy.

I found Britt, the dog, wonderful! Oh, and the staff were all right, too. It's a very cool old place. I had a ball, and so did all my friends. Thanks, guys !
