I stayed here before - in 2013 - when Mike was the Events Co-ordinator, and I thought he was excellent. The current one - Michelle -on the other hand, was awful. She didn't lead a single activity, instead leaving them to volunteers to run, and she;'s a paid member of staff. The fact that the hostel didn't have anything organised on Independence Day to lead those staying to eithrer the morning parade or the nighttime fireworks was particularly baffling and disappointing.

One of the best hostels I stayed in. Hotel feel with hostel benefits. A bit expensive.
