Location is solid! The street it is on is a little strange and another guest remarked at how many men were on the narrow street. She asked if we felt safe and we did but it’s something to note. Self check in was easy. They allow you to store your bags but the space isn’t locked with a host…it’s monitored by the camera. We never saw the host once so it certainly felt strange leaving our bags in the open like that but it was fine. Our room’s door lock was terrible. We spent 15 mins on 2 separate occasions trying to lock the door and another guest had to help us lock it. Kevin was unresponsive in those moments and also showed no empathy. When it happened a second time he didn’t even rely to us at all.
Hostel has lovely facilities, kitchens and common spaces. Would go back if Kevin replaces the room locks.
