16 January 2012 Olivia would recommend this property

Liked: The staff are very friendly and welcoming. They were very helpful in suggesting trips and where to go next. Also it's a quiet hostel so you can get a good night's sleep. The private rooms in the annexe are far better than the dorms and private rooms in the main part of the hostel but you pay dearly for them. We moved to a 3 bed dorm after 3 nights to save money and they are perfectly serviceable if very small. The kitchen is clean and well equipped. The breakfast is good with fresh bread and medialunas.

Disliked: In the annexe across the road the wifi didn't work. In the main building the bathrooms need updating and for full sized doors to be put in the toilet cubicles to give you a bit more privacy. Also due to booking through hostelbookers they charged an extra 10 pesos a night above their advertised room rate which seems a bit unfair.

Liked: We stayed across the road in the rooms with ensuite. They were small but very clean and very comfortable. The only problem we had was that the central heating stopped for our room one day however this was fixed immediately when we let them know - good to know that they respond to a problem quickly as this means the problem does not really exist.

Disliked: Nothing bad about the property

Liked: I stayed in a private room, located in another building from the shared rooms. Missed the social aspect at that distance, unfortunately, though the room was fine and very quiet.

Disliked: Separation of private rooms so far from more social areas.
