DIEGO

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This is the worst hostel, the staff was really rude with me, I was asking for the manager or supervisor to complain about something and the guy that it was working was challenging me to do the complaint. I send an email to get some help but they didn’t reply to me. No space in the rooms to leave you luggage. Do not stay in this hostel

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Last resort hostel
Went there only because I had no other option. It's far from the center and poorly maintained. I was offered hard drugs by the people who stayed there for a long time. Wouldn't go there, unless I have to.
