Filthy and not secured.
I could not find the Macan Hostel name and it is under a different name Vizayon Hostel. So hard to find. The place is dirty and not as what described online. The website says 4 double bunk beds but there are 2 more sigle beds in the room. I noticed the person working on shift in the hostel crashes/sleeps on one of the bunk beds. The room smells like cigarette especially the toilet. The toilet was not cleaned until I complained. Staff either no command of English or hardly speak English. The room is not secured and waa surprised one morning when I woke up that the room was fully opened and very visible to people using the elevator and the other dorm in front of it. This hostel seems to be used by travel local migrants.

Отель за такие деньги не плохой, если вы хотите заплатить 500р и жить в президентском номере то спуститесь с небес на землю. За такие деньги очень хороший хостел. Предоставляют даже шампунь (что является редкостью для таких хостелов).

Si el taxista hubiera sido imposible encontrar el hostal. Afuera solo ve el nombre del hotel (q se me olvidó) y el hostal está en el sótano. Hay dos enchufes para 8 personas, no hay lockers, ni muebles para dejar las cosas. Tuve todo en mi cama. Como ya dicho antes, el hostal está en el sótano, huele súper mal y las ventanas están a nivel de la calle, si llueve parece q entra agua. El baño estaba sucio.

Expect the worse.
Expect the worse. Based on the price, so there is nothing to expect, but still, so dissapointing. The bed sheets and stuff wasn't change, there was rat inside the room, the room supposed to be clean regularly 12noon everyday but still bad.
