4/10 Sederhana

Hot and uncomfortable bunks, confusing checkin
First of all, was super confusing to find this place because there is no sign for Cache Hostel. You are just supposed to know that you have to check in at Anvil Hotel instead (for which there also isn't great signage...). I circled around confused a few times before reading on the website that it's located in the basement of Anvil. I don't understand why they wouldn't have a sign!
Then there was a long wait to check in at Anvil (and I still wasn't sure if I was in the right place). The woman at the front desk seemed annoyed and didn't explain anything like they normally do at hostels. I asked her about parking and she said to just park on the street, but there wasn't any street parking available at the time. I later learned from other Cache guests that you can use a parking lot down the street, and would have been nice if the front desk explained that.
When you go in, there aren't actual rooms like a "normal" hostel - it's these open areas with ~20 bunks and no door to the "rooms." It's almost more like a capsule hotel than a hostel, but with less privacy. The ladders to the top bunks are a bit precarious and I felt anxious going up and down even though I'm pretty spry and fit for a 35 year old. I don't recommend with slippery socks.
There was a front desk at the hostel, but I never saw anyone there. It seems like you have to go to the Anvil hotel for any questions.
As other travelers described, it was quite hot in the bunks.
