Decent hostel in a good part of town. They have well-sized lockers and helpful staff (after a bit of prompting). I was in a dorm which was fine. Not that many people here though - maybe it's not high season.

We stayed four night in Gecko in summer. The location was great, just next to nice bars and restaurants. Even if we felt like in an oven in the four-bed dormitory, the place was quiet enough. Staff was great, and it was easy to get to know other backpackers. The kitchen and the bar helped to feel a bit more at home.

The place is disgusting, the bed was full of hair as well as the bathroom, even found dog shit and pee in the stairs. Very noisy and poor breakfast. Don't trust pictures on the website. Pity because the building has lot of potential.
