my say is simple, when one need a cheap place to sleep in St Pete area, that is a valid place to go. i've read some reviews that aren't realistic - if one wants a "better" place, then spend twice the money. it is fair to not have the most fancy place for the price paid, and as such, this is the best ratio cost/service there is out there when you are on a tight budget. I ve been there now on 3 different trips, and I'll go back there without a doubt if i need to go in this area by myself again. note this isn't a true hotel, but a house with shared bedrooms that have 2 to 4 beds per bedroom.

Showed up at the property and went inside and the place WAS FILTHY and a mess. The pictures that portray the hostel are VERY DECEPTIVE. The room I rented was full of junk items on the bed. The owner was making an attempt to pick up the room. He also informed me the rooms were all rented and there was no space. Even if there was space I would not have stayed there by any means. I left the premises immediately and booked a room at the Super 8’ in Ellenton. REQUEST A FULL REFUND for my room. That Hostel is deplorable and should not be advertised on your Webb site. It is filthy, old, decrepit and a mess and clearly unsanitary much less for a business rental property. HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU REMOVE THAT PROPERTY FROM YOUR RENTAL LISTING. TERRIBLE AND DEPLORABLE. REQUEST A FULL REFUND. The first time I booked there I was not able to make the date of reservation and changed it, but was not able to make it either so I forfeited the room. I never made it there to see the property until this past Friday. REQUEST A FULL REFUND and removal of that property from your listing. The pictures are highly deceptive and the place is filthy and unsanitary to say the least..

Weird setting

The pictures was not accurate. It is not really hostel. It was a house with people sharing the space, in the residential area. its pretty odd environment. i just had to hold my breath since i need a place to shower and sleep while in town on business. There were people sleeping on the sofa and chair in the living room. it was just uncomfortable so like i said, I had to hold my breath since its so cheap.
