There's no denying it, this hostel needs a lot of work. The bathrooms are not clean and the bedrooms smell. The only common area is a small lounge with a small TV. All this being said, however, I had a fantastic time here. Because of the rooms were not so desirable, it forced everyone to the lounge, which made for a lot of social interaction. Every night, there were always people willing to hang out with you, even if you were new (like me). Highly recommended, if you can ignore the cleanliness issues.
