The place is accurate with the pictures. Cleaner is sent in everyday who sweeps and mops and is friendly. I didnt really know what to expect out of a hostel just really thought I would be doing my regular which is normally go to bed leave out keep my space. But everyone was friendly and respectful so the environment was cool.
I didnt give five stars because j was asked to leave the bnb and this was what I felt was a lack of communication and no reach for understanding.
When I first walked in I went straight to my bed and I saw my bed wasnt made. It looked like someone rolled out of it. I could've easily asked for my bed to be made but I was nervous about it at that point Idk if they just change the sheets or at that disinfect the bed as well so i stayed up on the couch. When i noticed that process wasnt happening i didnt mind cause i was fine ik n the couch. Sleeping on the couch was a house violation. I didnt lay on the couch i would sit upright. I didnt have covers. I kept my stuff neatly put in a corner. When the house manager asked me about it I said my piece and that was it. There was no fuss made or anything I was asked and responded after that it was light laughs and back to our regular.
I only had one instance where I cut the dryer on at 11:30 (during quiet time). Onve the house manager came and said the dryer is loud I said sorry I didn't realize the time and I was gonna take my stuff out he said dont worry about it just next time be mindful of quiet time.
Where it really gets buggy is the whole house is up till about 2am 3am EVERY NIGHT. Yet I was singled out about the tv being on and i barely watched tv only in the am (usually 7 -9 a couple hours ) rest if the time I'm on my phone or my laptop. Last incident I cut the light on at 2 in the morning (Mind you the vast majority of the house is awake in the living room talking and laughing). I was looking for my charger which was moved. The house manager comes and mentions the light in reference to quiet time. My thing is if we'reall supposed to be in the bed and outside why was no one told hey turn the tv off and go outside its quiet time. He was only concerned about the light. And what was more frustrating is it was a silent complaint rather than talk ng to me about it cause then they would've found out that the charger I was looking for was in another guest pocket...Along with my sweater in their bag... Same guess who was askin everyone for food since their first day, same guess who didnt clean up behind themselves, same guess who was sleeping on the couch, same guess who drunk up another's coffee, Same guess that would randomly grab people's cigarettes and smoke em without asking, same guest who's items were everywhere scattered all through the house, same guess who didnt clean up after themselves, same guess who havent even paid for their stay. And I hear this guest get a warning. I got none! And I was accused of not cleaning which was clearly a mixup. When I spoke to the host his mind was made up because with every response he kept resorting back to me sleeping on the couch and watching the tv that j was watching (at least not during quiet hours). I asked the main ones who was there if they had any complaints about me and if so why they didnt say anything cause hell we talked about everything else and they said they didnt have no complaints. They were actually surprised. But at the end of the day moral of the story is; watch the house rules and adhere to them no matter what you see everyone else doing.
My clear violation was being on the couch and not in my bed. Looking back I could've disinfected it myself. But like i said when it was presented it seemed no huge deal. But if you stick with the rules and be watchful over any moochers that slide in and out sometimes you'll be good and you'll find this place very convenient. I'm sharinmy experience not bad mouthing the host. He's not there so I guess he done best he could at that given moment. However i feel a fair warning should be given before just telling someone not to book anymore. Unless that person is coming off as a threat to the household.
Outside of that misunderstanding the place is good to go.
