Generally
a
pretty
good
hostel,
but
I
would
look
elsewhere
in
summer.
Our
stay
coincided
with
a
heatwave
(~35c
during
the
day),
and
while
we
didn’t
expect
A/C
or
a
fan,
we
expected
that
we
would
be
able
to
open
the
windows
for
ventilation
and
for
some
cooler
air
in
the
evenings.
However,
the
windows
did
not
open,
and
when
I
asked
the
desk
for
a
key
to
open
them,
they
told
me
they
had
lost
them
and
couldn’t
do
anything.
I
told
him
this
wasn’t
acceptable
as
my
girlfriend
was
ill
and
needed
to
rest,
and
the
heat
was
preventing
this,
and
in
response
the
staff
member
tried
to
offer
me
a
complimentary
beer
as
compensation.
I
asked
if
they
had
a
spare
fan,
and
the
staff
member
said
the
only
one
they
had
was
for
staff
only.
For
the
price
this
hostel
charges
for
a
private
room,
they
should
have
hired
a
locksmith
and
had
them
create
a
new
set.
Our
windows
faced
the
sun,
and
so
when
we
returned
home
each
evening
the
room
would
be
close
to
30c
inside,
even
with
the
curtains
drawn
all
day.
There
was
no
way
to
cool
the
room
at
night
(it
was
very
well
insulated,
I
am
sure
it
is
very
comfortable
in
winter!),
and
consequently
we
struggled
to
sleep
for
the
duration
of
our
stay.
Obviously
this
is
only
an
issue
during
hotter
periods,
but
it
is
something
to
be
aware
of
nonetheless.
All
other
aspects
of
the
hostel
were
good,
and
I
otherwise
recommend
staying
here.
