This hostel was all around excellent - I’m shocked that it’s review scores aren’t higher! It was everything I was hoping for and expecting.

Most of the staff are friendly, the beds were comfy and clean, the other guests were polite and the toilets were clean. The shots were huge. I was able to barter and trade an extra night for a blender of the same price when I found the jar to y'all's blender broken. That was a major highlight. The openness to unconventional methods of payment is astounding. The huge map was very cool to study, I loved getting to speak with all the different people from around the world. Normally I only get that online. Ok I'm done, I promise to bring that aloe next time also. AlphaQuinnn signing off! Thank you SO much! Give everyone a high-five from me!
Floor around urinal was covered in pee.
The room was to cold for my comfort. Once under the blankets + my extra was ok but changing clothes was crazy. Just the bedroom though. The red headed girl was judgmental to the point of rudeness and disrespect when I was conversing about my plans. And the bartender with the glasses and long brown hair kinda dorky, started talking about some Spanish book about how to learn how to enjoy doing ungodly things that would violate this reviews terms of service if I actually said it. That was extremely creepy. I would personally never promote such an activity as I hear it is frowned upon in MOST societies....... I hate to be to the one to say anything but if those two worked for me well... They wouldn't.

Pretty hostel and comfortable bed. Very good location.
There were no blinds on the window, only the bottom bunk beds had curtains whereas the top beds none. And, I was staying on a top bed.
The AC was crazy cold most of the time, and it was not possible to turn it down a bit. I get it that it was warm outside (near 30°C) but the AC draft felt like 15°C. The common area (Kitchen) was also very cold. Due to the very cold AC, I had to stay as long as possible outside the hostel...
