Very different from the photos on Google maps. If you get a nice picture with a garden and fountain... definitely not it. It is just false advertising. The building is very run down, and doesn't feel clean. The bathrooms were okay I guess. The carpet in the room had spot marks, so you want to wear shoes on at all times. It has private parking in the back of building. The establishment didn't have a bar nor allowed alcohol on premises according to their house rules. Which may be a plus for some, but not for us. Didn't see any other travelers like us, besides some that seemed to live there for a long time. Closest restaurant worth eating on, was at least close enough 4 blocks. All in all, we like to stay in hostels due to the environment that most have. We like meeting other travelers, sit down to chat with them, exchange stories, and have beer or two. This place had none of the atmosphere that you find in other hostels. Would not come back or recommend.
We stayed last night, private room with attached small bathroom. It was fine, beds were comfy, wifi was good. Nice looking kitchen and lounge that we didn't use, though it smelled odd, maybe some type of cleaning fluid? Half the price of a regular hotel, decent coffee shop across the street.
Personally, I think that's the best place to stay away from city disturbances. Privacy is excellent and easier stay and move around for business and vacation trips. Good for the family. Loved the free wifi and big parking. Most of all I love the fees and flexible customer service.Rooms: 5/5
Stayed overnight last week. Daughter & I went out & returned at 2am and were locked out of the room because the 2 younger girls refused to sleep in the room & slept in the car. I rang to let the office know we were locked out and he was there within 3mins to let us in at no extra charge. Not the cleanest of places but the cost and customer service by far outweighs the negatives. We slept well & had no problems
Comfy bed. Linen could do with being replaced. Shower curtain was a bit moldy and there was a blood stain on the sink. Could hear people's room doors opening and closing. Pictures on website do NOT represent the place. Pretty sure upstairs is being used for emergency housing. No window in my room and the hallway smells weird. Safety: Good security. Felt safe here.
Huge difference between the pictures on website and actual place. Cleaningness was appalling and smell was disgusting. We had a bathroom in our room but the door was broken so you couldn't shut it. Bedding was not clean. Carpet needed a good wash! Would absolutely not recommend! Had ppl knocking on doors constantly and loud music playing upstairs! And what we got charged is a bloody rip off!
Do not stay here, especially as a solo traveller!!!! The smell was revolting, whole hostel was dirty, unhelpful staff and felt unsafe as a solo female. Location wasn't great either. Reception told me I could park round the back of the hostel and woke this morning to my car nearly being towed, despite me double checking with the receptionist that I was parked in the correct spot. Oh, and did I mention that it was really really really smelly!!!! I ended up leaving in the night and staying with a friend as I felt so uncomfortable. Shower wasn't a shower, it was a hose pipe. Truly grim. I wish I could find something nice to say about it, but unfortunately it was just a disappointing 'stay'.
Room got way too hot and my room mate snored really bad. The second one isn't really this places fault and it is pretty cheap but in the future I would definitely pay slightly more for the silence.
I initially planned on staying for 4 nights. However, when I explored the hostel for a bit. I immediately checked out. The photo's that are presented on the website do not match with the reality. Most of the hostel hasn't been maintained in a long time. It wasn't particularity clean, as you could spot dust pretty much everywhere. The costs do not match what you're getting out of it. Especially since there are cheaper and better maintained hostels in the area.
Stayed there couple times!!! Friendly people, close to everything, n yeah more bang for your buck!!! Rooms: Algud for the price bro!!! Must recommend. Nearby activities: Pub,paknsave, gas station,nudie bars. Walkability: Don't be drinking while walking round, $250 fine if ya,ll get nabbed by the z u!!! Alcohol free zone?? Or more coin for the z social club!!!
