Regarding my stay at Casa Pepe it was indeed one of the worst. I considered myself well-seasoned as a traveler. This by far was one of the most overhyped places I ever stayed. To begin with, entering I did not feel welcomed. Being African American it was a distinct different treatment I felt. The living conditions inside the dorm was very lackluster. As the dorm was near the street with a large door opening those invited mosquitoes, and the outside is very noisy good luck sleeping. My whole body is covered from bites from the three days I stayed here. The bedding area did not have a light so it was pretty shooting in the dark. The people that work here not the friendliest I feel. I asked to do laundry numerous amounts of times. One of the hotel staff mentioned to drop my bag off at the front desk, I proceeded to do so. He suddenly advised it would be at 9am I would have to return to drop the laundry. The next day came I attempted again the hotel staff indicated it was no laundry service, but then advised it would be 200 pesos to do laundry, a bit of a run around. The ratings for this place I don’t know how it got so high but I’m not really seeing it.
