Overall, I'd rate the hostel (minus the sleeping quarters) a 4 or 5, but the 6-cot room was musty and hot and had the added frustration of a single window that did not open! The single fan did little to circulate the air and nothing to dissipate the smell of mold (although the room itself was cleaned every day, and... More

This "hostal" over rates itself. The supposed communal kitchen is unlit, filthy, and there are no basic ingredients with which to cook. You share it with others, and there is no hot water for cleaning dishes. They say there is hot water in the showers, but we had no evidence of this. They closed the common area at 10:30, so... More
