“The property is a fairly decent hostel, although noise can be an issue late into the night, and the AC schedule might not suit everyone. On the upside, the private room bathroom is a definite highlight; such a beautiful space is a real treat. However, the Wi-Fi situation in the private rooms is less than ideal, requiring a trek downstairs to the lobby to connect.”
