My experience was not as good as I expected. Being a hostel, I would say the cost does not justify the quality of my stay. First of all, the host was not responsive when I asked about leaving luggages prior to checking in. Second, I asked about being placed in bottom bunk if available (I stayed for a whole week, and no one helped to arrange that). Third, the common space was not conducive to being social or making friends. For a whole week, I didn’t make any friends in the hostel (I’m usually a very social person, but the layout of this place again is not made for lone travelers hoping to make friends.)
What really upset me the most was the general cleanliness of the sleeping area. Besides my own bed at the end of the hallway, whenever I passed by all the other beds, there was this sour smell circulating in the air from all the backpackers’ giant backpacks. Also, at times, there were so many backpacks on the side of the bed, while obstructing the passage. I think Kura hostel can do better with keeping the area nice and clean.
