On checking in we also found dirty socks, used toothbrushes and half finished milk teas around the place. There were also cockroaches roaming the living room mattress, and we found stains on all the couches, the towels and the bed sheets.

Paguei 03 noites e só consegui ficar 01, com muito esforço. Acho que foi a pior experiência em hostel já reservada por aqui "

I originally booked for three nights but ended up extending to a week because I couldn't leave so soon after meeting such incredible people! Saiful took us to the best spots for...
