The hostel is cheap, but you get what you pay for. I guess the quality of hostels have gone down recently. It’s cheap and you room with others which is expected, but the bathroom smelled, the clean sheets I was given smelled musty, and this hostel is sort of close to one of those drug injection sites- so there’s weirdos who are outside the building. There was one guy who was possibly on drugs hogging the bathroom outside the girls dorm/room, it was unsettling. Also the room had cockroaches in it.
I’ve stayed in plenty of hostels of similar prices and this is definitely the worst I’ve been in.
Otherwise the staff were alright, they helped with the check in, carrying heavy bags upstairs, some of them were friendly.
But yeah if you really value cleanliness with minimal/ no bugs - this place is not it.
I can’t really comment about the kitchen because I was afraid to use it. But they did have soap/ Clorox out on the kitchen counter.
If it wasn’t so musty and roach filled I would have left a better review.
