Bad check in and unclean baths
When I arrived, I stood in front of the Afro-Caribbean working the desk and he ignored me until a female checked me in. He was basically doing nothing. The main area where people smoke and party all night is right outside the dorms so forget about sleeping. Bathrooms are always disgusting. Had booked 7 days but stayed only 3 long days before going somewhere else.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hostel is located near restaurants and historical points. The staff is super nice and helpful. They help me order a taxi. I loved the hammocks and the environment. Breakfast was really good (you have to pay extra). Common restroom were often clean during they day but the bathroom in my share room was not. Recommendation maybe having a mop in the room that it can be used after showers. My room was next to the street and it was really noisy at night. The room had AC at night but during the day they turn it off and it gets super hot, having a fan during the day would be very helpful.
