Disliked: Cleanliness
Private room not worth it as incredibly noisy. Not cleaned (including bins, towels) for whole stay. Hostel grounds were nice (although cooking hard as no plates in kitchen and bin overflowing). The atmosphere at the hostel was very nice and staff on reception were nice (but WhatsApp line doesn’t seem to work at all). Pool nice and clean and general facilities in the hostel really nice. Great location.
