Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I liked the quietness of the room. It was cheap. The top bunk was comfortable but unstable it moved as I was getting up. The room was crowded. No space people's belongings everywhere. The television had no batteries so you couldn't watch it. People where everywhere. The toilets where messy with flies and a lone spare button and hair the ladies and unisex. Limited charging ports. It was a disgrace. This hostel should get a award for going great to rapidly getting worse with time instead of improving. The receptionist and cleaner wasn't the originals and I liked the original workers better bring them back.

Often messy common areas with dirty bathrooms. Not to mention the guests rolling joints in the main common area at around 9-10pm ensuring that half the building was covered in weed stench. Will not be going back.

Not clean and didn’t change the sheets

This hostel was gross. It didn’t have cleaners come in to clean the communal showers or bathrooms (which are right beside eachother so the smell when you’re showering isn’t nice). The front desk staff were in charge of cleaning the kitchen but they didn’t sanitize anything just wash the dishes and wipe down the counter near the sink. Further someone in our 6 bedroom checked out and they didn’t change the sheets before the next person checked in so they slept on their dirty sheets. The common area was nice and big and good to meet people in. However, there were many older people in the common areas partying that were not staying in the hostel. I wouldn’t recommend this hostel.

The bedding did not smell good and the pillows were uncomfortable. Also the place where the private room is located you can hear all the noise from the living room so I could not rest very well. The staff was very friendly
