| Enjoyed the accommodation, although assistance with suggested tours, buses to catch were a little short. Did not even have a map of the area to give people like us a start. | ||

| I enjoyed my time at the hostel. The breakfast is great! The people who worked at the reception couldnt speak English which I found poor (especially considering it was Carnival weekend). The 2 girls who could speak English were a great help! | ||
