The rooms do suffer from dampness and occasional flooding and they are not well-sealed against mosquitoes and other bugs, particularly during certain seasons.
While the hostel offers good-sized lockers and the cleaning staff are noted for their good work, many rooms fall short in terms of overall upkeep and comfort with old sheets and mattresses being common complaints.
