I had a lovely stay at Aquarizon Boutique Hostel. the decor was simply gorgeous and made it feel more like a chic guesthouse than a typical hostel. The location was vibrant, right at the heart of the nightlife, which could be exciting but also a bit noisy at times. The breakfast was one of the best I've ever had in a hostel, but the room had a slightly damp smell, likely due to the air conditioning.

I had a really enjoyable stay at Aquarizon Boutique Hostel & City Bar. The unique underwater decor created a cool atmosphere, and I appreciated the privacy of the dorm bunks, which came with wide mattresses and good curtains. However, the lack of a social area and the musty smell in my room were slight drawbacks.

My stay at Aquarizon Boutique Hostel & City Bar was quite enjoyable. The location was fantastic, placing me right in the heart of the city while still offering a surprisingly quiet retreat at night.

Overall, it was clean and the staff were friendly.
