Our hostel rooms were built in the 1970s (long before our time here) and are regularly deep cleaned, checked and maintained e.g. fresh paint. The photos of our rooms online accurately reflect what we offer, outdated is a matter of opinion that we would disagree with given that we replace items often due to usage. Unfortunately we have no control over sandflies but do provide insect repellent for restaurant guests and sell it in our shop, as well as fly screens over windows, we do what we can. Our view has been called many things but nice would be an understatement for quite a few people...

Thanks for writing a review. Unfortunately while we do try to make clear where we are websites like this present our location as the crow flies and there's nothing we can do. Wotif feeds from Expedia and we have made clear there that rooms have shared bathrooms. Sorry we weren't what you were looking for.

Apologies that wotif didn't make our location clear, we do try to make sure that everyone understands where we are as we appreciate that it's not what everyone's looking for.
