the room we had was clean. A/C did not work at all. My girlfriend said the showers in the women's shower area stunk, did not have a problem with the men's area. Bathrooms were not taken care of on a daily basis. urine all over the place (more so a guest problem). it was located in a decent area. could not locate a maid for laundry, so we had to walk 10 minutes down the road for laundry, not the biggest of deals but would be nice and convenient if we could have done laundry in the hostel. overall, it wasn't awful by any means but i would recommend maybe choosing another spot.
