Ehh def not four stars worthy
Yeah, I feel like they could be more upfront about how they do room placements and asking if you need a top or bottom bunk available ahead of time. I am a fem solo traveler that got placed in a room of all men, which was very uncomfortable at first. The room was musty and super small to as well. There’s also one bathroom for 8 people, which worked out fine. There’s no face towels or paper towels in the hostel, so you don’t have anything to dry your hands with after using the restroom, which is wild. I also felt like staff didn’t take my concerns seriously when asking to switch from a top bunk to a bottom bunk due to mobility issues.

Typical hostel experience
This was a fairly standard hostel and suitable if you just need a place to sleep and don't mind the shared dorms. As a woman traveling solo, I felt reasonably safe. The location is convenient for getting around the city.

I found this place to be a really good hostel given the price point.

6/10 Good

everything was good except the lack of airflow in the sleeping area that made it almost impossible to sleep in, and resulted in everyone flocking to the communal spaces for relief. It was hotter in that area than outside. If you come here, bring a portable fan, without it I would not have been able to sleep here. besides that, it was great!! and the breakfast was delicious!

The stay was just fine and exactly what I expected. However, as I was checking out they wanted to charge my card and threatened to call the police. I had paid in advance with Expedia and later found my receipt. The staff are excellent but the manager/owner is a complete a--hole. I'm legally trained and I intend to sue them for intentional infliction of emotional distress.

They didn’t give me a towel. They didn’t show me where the shower was. I couldn’t find a shower, I saw only the sink and the toilet. It was very uncomfortable. This hostel does not make its money.

Please make showers more private and doors that actually close. Insufficient security for rooms and lockers are not big enough. Bathrooms need hand towels or paper towels, that's just basic accommodation expectations

This hostel was okay. I booked two people dorm, which turned out to be an annex to the main building. My bedroom was not like the pictures in the website; it was very small and lacked carpet. The floor and bed were squeaky, and when I placed my backpack on the floor, it collected white ash. The largest concern was the lack of security in the building. My bedroom had no lock and anyone comes in at any time. The tiny locker could barely fit an iPad, let alone larger devices like a laptop. The breakfast was only served after 8:30, which is quite late for a morning person. Overall I didn't get why this property had relatively high rating. Perhaps the experience would be different in the main building.
