All Selinas in Latin America blow, avoid at all cost. They went wayyyyy down hill when they went public a bit ago, hemorrhaged money. And now everything else has gone with it maintenance, cleaning. I'm not sure if it's because they get bitched at all day because of aformentioned, but even the front desk people who at a hostel are pretty cool, suck.
-also they're overpriced even when they were good. But to be fair their bar scene is pretty cool so if you're staying near a Selina check it out.

Not all are bad, for example Ecuador banos is great and Quito city. Overall usually check the booking/google reviews to decide about each specific one to stay. For many countries they have discount codes which lowers the price significantly. Also check their shareholder program big discounts and perks
