Ehh def not four stars worthy
Yeah, I feel like they could be more upfront about how they do room placements and asking if you need a top or bottom bunk available ahead of time. I am a fem solo traveler that got placed in a room of all men, which was very uncomfortable at first. The room was musty and super small to as well. There’s also one bathroom for 8 people, which worked out fine. There’s no face towels or paper towels in the hostel, so you don’t have anything to dry your hands with after using the restroom, which is wild. I also felt like staff didn’t take my concerns seriously when asking to switch from a top bunk to a bottom bunk due to mobility issues.

Typical hostel experience
This was a fairly standard hostel and suitable if you just need a place to sleep and don't mind the shared dorms. As a woman traveling solo, I felt reasonably safe. The location is convenient for getting around the city.

everything was good except the lack of airflow in the sleeping area that made it almost impossible to sleep in, and resulted in everyone flocking to the communal spaces for relief. It was hotter in that area than outside. If you come here, bring a portable fan, without it I would not have been able to sleep here.
besides that, it was great!! and the breakfast was delicious!

The stay was just fine and exactly what I expected. However, as I was checking out they wanted to charge my card and threatened to call the police. I had paid in advance with Expedia and later found my receipt. The staff are excellent but the manager/owner is a complete a--hole. I'm legally trained and I intend to sue them for intentional infliction of emotional distress.

They didn’t give me a towel. They didn’t show me where the shower was. I couldn’t find a shower, I saw only the sink and the toilet. It was very uncomfortable. This hostel does not make its money.
