Give it a miss if you're after cleaniness

The hostel clearly only puts positive reviews up. The room was adequate for my stay and quiet but the community kitchen was atrocious and the kitchen sink remained blocked and putrid my entire 4 night stay. I contacted only by text message to convey uncleanness and they said their team would take care of it. NO! They failed to give me info on wifi connection and an app had control of the laundry.??? Hot water for a shower was only just warm enough not to add any cold into the mix. No real person to actually have a conversation with was sighted.I only saw the bad reviews after I arrived unfortunately. It was quiet and reasonably convenient location for my needs but many homeless on the streets and I didn't feel safe to leave anything of value in my room because they wouldn't explain the same code for the front door and my room. How do they know who's coming in?

Everything was good except that the bathroom situation wasn’t the best experience. One bathroom for to many occupants are not the best. Of course you get what you paid for. Everything else was good.

Area is close to popular things and street parking is free and okay to find but otherwise this property is a joke. I made my reservation and told them I needed ground floor/lower bunk because I am disabled. When I booked my dorm I mistakenly booked a 3rd floor room because that detail is buried in the description and not obvious so I missed it, and KNOWING I’m disabled they could’ve reached out to me to correct it but they didn’t. When I arrived for check in, someone was already asleep in my assigned bunk and had their things scattered around the bed. I texted the staff because they have no rep on site if issues arrive. No clerk, no attendants, no security. The staff person was very rude and basically implied I was lying and when I sent them a photo of the bunk being occupied they told me to wake the person up and ask their name. Obviously I’m not going to do that and I told them I didn’t feel safe doing so since I’m a single woman traveling alone and was staying in a mixed-gender room, I didn’t know who was sleeping in that bunk. They were rude to me and finally got back to me saying that another girl had gotten into my bed by mistake but they had texted her telling her to move to her own bed. I said that I didn’t want to sleep in a bed she’d just been sleeping in and they said they’d told her to change the sheets. This is crazy unprofessional. There was also a high dude in the yard screaming half the night.
