There’s an old Brazilian lady in my room, and apparently she thinks she’s more important than anyone else; she keeps the AC remote control with her, under her pillow, and she turns it off when she wakes up and she sets the AC according to her liking, despite having 5 other people with her in the same room. My problem is that the management are doing absolutely nothing about that. Yes, we complained. Other than that, my stay was good.

Obviously it is just another backpacker. Lacking a vibe, a theme and may be extra facilities. Either than that, I felt safe and welcomed. Not much to it - just a place to base at.
