The one real plus is the central location, and it’s low priced. The staff were generally friendly and helpful, but careless and chaotic. I paid them for a Rainbow Mountains tour, then found they’d organized a trip to some lake instead. Crazy. The hostel is underground and poorly ventilated, and it felt like a junkies’ hangout. It was badly maintained and dirty. The towel they gave me was already smelly and dirty, and the shower was cold, barely lukewarm despite them saying there was hot water. I’d booked a room well in advance, but they didn’t have it. They offered two alternatives. In one, you couldn’t properly lock the door to your room, since anyone could push it open. In the other, the window wasn’t secure. Don’t leave valuables behind.
