- Number 1: the location. - Number 2: checking out. Vile place. Some people had been there weeks so was lucky to catch a glimpse of a floor in the dorm. Common room areas were smelly, vile, dirty and outdated. Mattresses are paper thin - you wake up with spring marks down the entire of your body. I felt insulted... More

Rude owner and boss of the hostel. We asked him about the cancellation rules and he freaked out. We said ok we missunderstodd but he asked us to leave! He thru us out on the street! Even though we had booked for 3 weeks. He is mental and made us cry like crazy because we felt so mistreated! Never go... More

The showers are ok, 3 cubicles, not so well suited for woman. Toilets are fine too, they seem to be reasonably clean but often you get yobs making a mess of the toilets, by urinating over the floors and seats, someone spewed all over the walls and left it like that. The locks often get broken on the toilets, I... More

Chili Blue is cheap and that's about it. Our room was right by the stairs and the bathrooms hence very noisy. We had to walk through the communal areas and via an outside courtyard to reach the room. After 10pm quiet rule was ignored. No staff at hostel overnight. Communal areas overcrowded and outdated. Cockroaches in rooms and corridor. Breakfast... More

Oke, it's cheap. That's it really. And it makes you doing A LOT of things outdoors, as you never want to return to this dirty hostel. When we walked in the owner didn't even bother to get his finger out of his nose. We could hardly walk into the room, as the stuff of our 'roommates' was literally everywhere, except... More

We spent 5 nights in Chilli Blue in June 2011. We decided to go with them since they were offering the cheapest accommodation in the city. The place turn to be disgusting due to very poor quality of the staff. They seem to assume that if they are cheaper than their competition they do not have to care. That still... More

Stayed here for a week in jan. Had an amazing time with all who stayed there. Always booked up which tells its own story. Very friendly and cleaner than 95% of any other hostel I'd ever stayed at. The drinking games were just the tip of the iceberg.
