BUG Review
At the time of our visit, this hostel had recently changed management and was undergoing extensive renovations. It has a lot of potential and the changes made so far look good. The air-conditioned dorms have all new comfortable beds and clean newly-renovated bathrooms. Facilities include laundry, a full travel booking agency at reception, a very nice common area and a big swimming pool plus a kitchen, which is tattered but should see some improvements by the time of publication. Guests get free evening meals and the helpful staff put on nightly events such as wine & cheese nights.
