For the price of this hostel per night (50 dollars) our experience was less than satisfactory. We had booked a four bed dorm and the three other members of my party and I were split up into separate rooms. On arrival we were given our bedding and room keys and once in our rooms we had to make the bunks that were left available in the rooms. There was a small locker per bed and some beds had storage pools underneath for people, others didn’t. The hostel seemed quite unhygienic from the beginning. The rooms hadn’t been swept for days as there was rubbish and grime all on the floor and under the beds. Out of the three rooms the four of us were staying in, only one had a window and ventilation, the others just had air con. As seen in the pictures, the kitchen was always dirty and despite the signs saying it got cleaned twice a day, it was very minimal cleaning. Restocking of tea towels and changing of bins at best. The dorms are the same re cleaning. Signs up around the hostel saying they get ‘cleaned’ once a week and that you would be notified so everything can be moved off the floor. No notice was given and the only cleaning that happened in the dorms was a quick sweep of the floor by the door. The wifi was good and a lot of kitchen equipment is supplied. Although you’d be lucky to get a space in the fridge as it’s so full all the time. On check out we were going to provide our experience of our stay to the receptionist. However they were not sat in the reception area, but in the kitchen eating food and not attending to the various people who were checking out. We just left our keys on the counter and left. Hence the review online instead of feedback given in person. If this hostel was half the price, we would’ve expected what we got. However it is overpriced, rundown and unhygienic and none of the live-in staff seem to have much care for the people staying. Staying at a hostel, we were obviously not expecting the luxury of a hotel. But there is an expectation of a certain level of cleanliness and a reflection of the price we paid.
