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

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.
