11 November 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Nice and friendly, really great value for money and a good location. Something to be aware of that isnt mentioned anywhere, the presence of dogs and cats in the hostel. Cats climbing everything ad getting in to rooms, and dogs barking at 6am, if you dont like animals don't go to this hostel.

Liked: It can be pretty cold as most of the hostel is outside so when its cold outside you stay cold pretty much all day. But they light the bonfire in evenings which keeps you warm and is a great way to meet people.Breakfasts are good and fill you up a treat!Booking on hostelbookers saves you about 50 percent of the room rate, bargain!

01 November 2009 Uyen would recommend this property

Liked: Originally booked in for 2 nights I ended up staying for 2 weeks. San Cris, the hostel & espesh the people met totally made it for me. Super friendly environment with great facilities. will definitely come bk!! (p.s. u save about 50% if u book online (at the time i stayed anyways))A few issues: 1. getting eaten alive by bedbugs the 1st 2 nights, however this was quickly rectified with the proviso of new dorms whilst the infected dorm was sprayed & revamped (i.e. inserted with a skylight); 2. no plug sockets in the dorms, thus, there was a bit of an annoying hunt for sockets in the kitchen & the tv room to recharge the lifestyle of the modern backpacker. u can leave items with reception to recharge but of course this can get a little tedious. 3. toilet paper tended to run out frequently, so more checks by staff to ensure the odd user doesn't get 'caught out' would be great.other than above, the staff were super helpful & friendly & willing to correct your spanish if you braved practising ur newly learnt skills. free breakfast, wifi & towels were also great. overall nice setup making it easy to meet people & free salsa classes (altho i didn't participate) seemed to have gone down well. also, if u r a gym junkie, or feel guilty by all the crepes, ice-cream or spanish donuts, a gym can be found around the corner lol. cheers!!!
