The lock to our room didn’t work, so you could just pull the door open even when it was locked. The locks to the bathrooms didn’t work either. The wifi we were supposed to be using did’nt even exist, so we had to use another one from one of the other rooms (every room had its own). There was mould in the aircondition. There were cockroaches in some of the rooms. Sometimes there weren’t any staff at the reception even when there was supposed to be. Information at the hostel told us there would be breakfast, but there was none. Only good thing was a relatively low price and quite centrally placed.

New furnitures and an update of the bathroom would be necessary.

No reception, I went to the wrong hostel (there’s the same one down the street) and wasn’t told there were two different ones! Only way to contact someone was via WhatsApp
Wasn’t communicated what room I was in
Bed sheets aren’t washed properly, mine were stained and also the towels smelt really bad

Not sure if it's because of the pandemic or if it's always been like this, but the place really seemed to need a cleaner. Stayed for several days (out of which we stayed two in the hostel the entire day due to having online classes to attend) and didn't see anyone clean any part of the hostel even once, and the bathroom and hallways seemed permanently stained with mud. It also smelled liked cup-ramen in the whole place and me (natural blonde) and my friend (pink haired latina) found black, asian looking hair in one of the beds.
Now the place was CHEAP so I wasn't exactly expecting a five star experience, but given that my friend prefered using the public subway bathrooms over the ones in the hostel I think it's fair to be a bit critical.
