Unfortunately, the bunk I stayed in had bed bugs and I got chewed up the three nights I was there. I know this is difficult for hostels / accommodation to keep under control. However, it’s been difficult trying to ensure I don’t bring any vermin back home with me in my luggage, clothes, etc. By the time I’d realised what was happening after my last night, I checked the mattress and found clearly visible stains / proof of an infestation. From what I’ve since read online, it takes a long while for it to get to that kind of stage, so I’m not confident they’ve taken appropriate steps to deal with the situation. Something to keep in mind before booking.
Contacted them about maybe getting a refund. Host replied and said they’d only be willing to return one night’s worth, including taxes and fees, etc. Received the refund today and they shorted me about $15 on that amount.
Otherwise, location is great and it’s super interesting at night. I enjoyed roaming the streets and taking photos. Lot of characters to meet, cool places to shop and restaurants to get a feed. There’s a great cinema around the corner and a decent dispensary too. If not for the bed bug thing and how they dealt with it, would have been an ideal place to stay.
