While centrally located and priding themselves on value for money - it’s still expensive and smack bang center of a super dodgy area.
All expense is spent on secure locks for doors that guests aren’t even given clear instructions on how to open.
The rooms are tiny, barely suited for 2 people.
The walls are paper thin, so conversations in the adjoining rooms are heard clearly all through the night.
The bunk beds are so flimsy and the top ladder is covered with taped foam to make it possible to step onto without slicing your foot.
I had to sleep on the lower bed because the top was constantly swaying with the slightest movement - suggest bolting the bunk to the wall for safety. Not that there’d be much risk of falling because the narrow walls of the tiny room would break your fall.
They give you a key (hanging within arms reach of the window to your room) to a locker in the main corridor. Our locker was hard to access behind a cupboard and was tiny for extra towels.
The bathroom sink was the only tap available in the place and so small, I couldn’t even fit my water bottle to refill it.
A shared sink and fridge would be fantastic, but probably too much luxury for this below budget accommodation.
The rooms get super hot during the day, so nothing will last and there’s a huge gap under the door.
Pretty sure I saw an empty cockroach case in the stairwell.
They pack a table and chairs into the already tiny room, which is pointless because there’s absolutely no room to sit down at them.
The floor didn’t look like it had ever been mopped. There was some sort of dried period blood or gross thing stuck to the floor next to the bed.
Can’t escape hair in the bathroom. It seems everywhere.
The sheets are synthetic so the fan they provide just makes you feel more claustrophobic in the tiny sweat box.
The interior walls are painted lilac giving off a community housing vibe ala the Florida Project.
The final touch is that they charge you for leaving lights on in the rooms! I mean people shouldn’t do it anyway to reduce energy consumption for the environment, but what a punishingly cheap place.
