Stay 3 nights there. Very helpful staff. Nice kitchen. The room is recommended just to sleep. Good for late night sleepers. The room's rate is reasonable. Mostly public transport is near to this hostel.

I stayed 10 days. Less than 20$ for private room in this clean hostel! If you share a small room between 2 it´s less than 25$ split two!!
