"Be award when booking this hostel, the owner tries to scam you for double payment when booking through Hotels.com and sites like that. He informs that payment need to happen by cash and you will be refunded through the booking site, bit that is not possible without the host accepting the cancellation and refund aswell. So stay away, very dirty rooms aswell!!"
