An average hostel
This is just a typical hostel - its winning feature is a small pool. Unfortunately my room was connected to the common area so was extremely noisy. There was no hot water - be warned - it does warm in the sun but is still below body temperature so you end up with the shivers

It was the cheapest option for a reason
It's a dorm style hostel and only as clean as the policies and the guests. The dorm is central to the property so there is no direct light or access to fresh air. The room is not air conditoned so it smells awful and there are just fans to keep you cool, but it mostly jist circulates the smell. In the heat of the desert with 9 guys who are not showering regularly, the smell can be quite overwhelming. No lock boxes in the rooms, good luck with that. No ladders to top bunks, just climb on the frame, good luck with that. A handful of power outlet strips in the room, none next to a bed or secured area, good luck not having your electronics stolen. Shared bathroom for 10 is rough, i didn't see a ladies dorm, but the trashcan for the ladies was overflowing from the time i arrived, to the time i left.
