Nice hostel, my first and last experience with a hostel, way too many rules . Not like I'm a rule breaker but i want to shower any time i want ,not told quite hours are from 10pm to 9 am . Yet i have to check out 9am ,no way . Way to early for check out . It happened to be 93 degrees and no air conditioning in you're room . Another is no TV except in dining area . I'm too old to fel like I'm living with roommates. Again nice hostel but with experience I'm sticking to hotels . And yes I'm a experience traveling taking 25 trips a year.
