The bunkhouse is a hotel. The reception area on the first floor is tiny and dated, but don't let that put you off. After riding up the ancient elevator (no worries, it runs fine) I was pleasantly surprised to find my room on the top (7th) floor was recently remodeled. It also included a private bathroom (which was not how it was listed -- I must've gotten a luck upgrade). Everything was shiny and new, but no frills. Clean towels and soap and TP was provided, as was a closet with hangars, a small safe, luggage stand, one chair and a built-in desk, a stool and a comfy double bed. Some things that were missing: facial tissue, rugs on the floor (it was just nice hardwood though), and there did not appear to be any maid service during my stay. One odd thing: The windows did not lock, and one opened on to the fire escape; that might be scary, but I decided: really who is going to climb 7 stories to rob me. Most hotels in this area are $300+ per night, and I got this one for about $140 a night which I think was a great deal.
