Cons -
- Upon arrival, after paying for a deluxe double bed with private bathroom, the employee wanted to give us a lower level room in the 8th floor, the worst one in this hostel, upon my refusal, she tried to collect extra money for an upgrade.
- Shared bathrooms, a little noisy at times and hit with a $10 per night membership fee.
