This should be a $20 hostel max…. I stayed at a Hostel in the heart of downtown New Orleans (2 min walk from Bourbon st) and the middle of downtown Denver for $30 each after taxes and fees. There’s no privacy curtain for the bunks, there’s no outlets for the bunks and there’s no lockers that will fit a small or regular size backpack. The other hostels had very spacious lockers, privacy curtains on the bunks and an outlets at each bunk and they were a 3rd of the price, those hostels were much more modern and nice inside too. Also there’s a huge window in the room I was staying in right next to the hallway and the light stayed on all night in the hallway so it was hard to sleep. The luggage storage was a little sketchy, every just leaves all their bags in one area and hopes no one steals anything, there’s a camera pointed at the bags but that only does so much. The staff was super nice and friendly, I have no complaints about the staff at all! My frustration is with the price and how little comes with it. It’s way over priced and it’s one of the worst hostels I’ve stayed at. Again, not the staffs fault but just a very overpriced place for no reasonably sized lockers, in comfy beds, no privacy curtains on the beds, no outlets by the beds and weird shower situations. Also I was overcharged $10 for some reason. It was supposed to be $69 with fees and tax included and my card was charged $79.

This is a hostel. Don't mistake my 5-star rating for a claim that it's a luxury hotel. It's not, but its value exceeds its price. Tips: -The room I stayed in had zero storage, so pack in a way that will allow you to live out of your suitcase. -If the kitchen is important to you, bring a few dishes. The dish selection is minimal. -I brought a blanket in case I was cold. I wasn't even close to being cold. The way the heat works in the building, I was almost too warm (a plus for me). -Bring a small hand towel to take to the bathroom. They give you a bath towel, but there's nothing on which to dry your hands. -Separate toiletries into 'shower,' 'sink,' and 'other' so you don't have to carry everything back and forth.
