This hostel has potential but unfortunately it wasn’t as expected. The dorm is much smaller and darker than the picture. Other guests filled the room with their clothes and luggage and the hostess was unable to provide a solution. This meant that the room was very cramped and I had no space for my own belongings, except for the small locker. The lockers do not take a standard travel lock (a larger lock worked) and there is a no shoe policy but the floors were very sticky (though there are communal slippers..). The location is fine, and very close to a metro and Eastern Market and the price is fair for a dorm. The common space was a nice touch but I had hoped for a cleaner space. The host was not very responsive (only forwarded what seemed like pre-written messages) and the bathroom, which is small, was filled with about a dozen shampoo bottles that had been left behind.
I ended up leaving after two nights as I found a private accommodation for a little bit. I don’t mind staying in dorms but was disappointed by the cleanliness (especially smell in the room) and size of the bedroom.
