It was an amazing exercise staying at Turtle, it’s in the middle of downtown, super close to ocean, restaurants and night life is good. I’m definitely staying there again! It was clean n neat, no one disturbed, guests were super friendly.

This is a terrible hostel. There is a bar downstairs that is super loud all night. The windows in the bedrooms dooms don’t close so the cigarette smoke from the people from the bar goes right into the rooms. The bathrooms were so disgusting and dirty with urine all around the toilet. There was rat droppings in the bedroom, hair on the beds, and the place smelled of mold. I left in the middle of the night.
