Bob & Patty Warne
This place was wretched. Mold everywhere. We pre-booked this hostel in March 2014. 50% deposit via Paypal only was required, non refundable within 72 hours of arrival. Arriving late in the afternoon, we would not have checked in if we had not already prepaid the required 50% deposit. We were greeted by a nice guy from Canada who showed us to our room and the the real pleasantries began. Simply put: How do you spell pigsty? C A S A d e l S O L. This is THE most disgusting filthy place we have ever stayed. We felt stuck not only because they had our money but because it was late in the afternoon and we did not know where to go. The bedding was stained, pillows were lumpy and we later learned it had bed bugs.The curtains were held up by some odd pieces of wire. Light switch was not attached to the wall just left hanging by its electric wiring.. Walls were filthy. Bathroom floor was filthy with body hair. Mold was on the walls, floor, shower, sink, everywhere you looked there was mold. The vinyl, padded toilet seat looked like someone had set off some fireworks on it. It was all tattered, torn and filthy. The room looked like it was assembled entirely from trash collected at a dump heap - honestly. We found better digs just across the street and down a few doors early the next morning. Unique Qualities: Mold, bed bugs, total indifference to patron's comfort or health, breakfast consisting of coffee and daily entry, no choice, no juice. Yoga classes (are you kidding me? Yoga at this place? Why? No, seriously. why?) to music that sounds like a Muslim call to prayer. Additionally, this place is NOT on the beach. It is across the street behind the hostels that are on the beach. There is no beach view.
