"The staff were very friendly.
Although we read some negative reviews from hostelbooker, we were very happy with everything. The room was good + having free Internet was great.
The person next door wasnt happy + showed us his room cause he thought it was dirty - again, I thought his room was fine and didn't understand why he was angry. But after spending 8 months in south america, little things that annoy some people do not bother me."
