During the hot months, I would not recommend staying at the hostel, since there is no air conditioning and no window screens to stop the mosquitoes. The portable fan in the room helped a little. We had two major problems with the hostel room (significant toilet leak onto the floor), so they moved us to another room within the hostel. Another major problem, absolutely no water pressure, so the management moved us into the best room at their "sister hotel. It's connected to the hostel. I would highly recommend the hotel. The room was fantastic. Also, the staff was wonderful.
