I'm posting this from the hostel. The facilities are very well kept, and the family that runs the hostel lives in the same building so they keep the place orderly as they would their own home. The location at first glance seems inconvenient -- being separated from the tourist zone by tunnel -- but the distance to the tunnel is maybe a half-kilometer from the building and the tunnel itself is barely a block long, so the bus ride from the hotel to the edge of the tourist area is literally two minutes. Buses from the hostel to downtown and the airport leave every five minutes between about 6 a.m. and 11 p.m. The free internet, free sheets, and free breakfast are all true -- the internet is a cable high speed connection, and the breakfast is orange juice plus four slices of toast. Overall, the staff are very accommodating and go out of their way to help guests.

I suggested to a backpacker friend that he stay here but there is an age limit -- that is ridiculous. I travel a lot and found those people who are older and stay in hostels are great. They are experienced and a lot of fun. They need to get a clue here.
