Overall I liked this Hostel a lot and would definitely come back. Look, at the end of the day the things inconvenient about this property are the things inconvenient about every hostel. If you can’t handle no AC, no lift, and roommates that snore or are loud in the hallways all the way to quiet hours, then no hostel will work for you. Bring ear plugs and a sleep mask, and be ready climb some stairs. Beds are comfortable enough, showers are comparatively large for a hostel. My only complaint was my trundle locker was very squeaky which made it difficult to be respectful of my roommates sleep.

Great Hostel, Fantastic staff, Would use again!

The hostel was great. The reception lady and the manager were fantastic on check in. Very warm & welcoming. We had a 2-bed room a short stroll down the road. Room was clean, sheets were clean. Can't fault it for the price. A simple breakfast, but a perfect way to start the day. Good location to underground an small shop around the corner among other local attractions. I would use again if i were down in the capital!

Do not book through hotels.com!

My flight information changed quickly. I called to push the date of arrival back and they wouldn’t accommodate. Stated they had no rooms available, but the online there was availability, though I’m unsure what specific room(s) were available. They refused a refund and again did nothing to accommodate me. I had to stay elsewhere and eat the $93 charge from this booking. Do not book through hotels.com!

Stayed at building 103. I was given a used wrinkled paper card to access building which didn’t work most of the time. No wifi info provided. Had to return to the front desk to obtain a plastic card for entry. Smell the toilet as soon as entering building. Hitting my head going downstairs to the basement to the shower and toilet. Location is good, bed so-so, cold and damp in the room with window open.

Well situated in a cute neighborhood. However they couldn't accomodate with an early check-in (2pm instead of 3pm..). Plus whenI got there they told me the bed I had reserved was in another building. No bathroom on my floor. 2 tiny bathrooms for the whole building, 3 showers. It was ok for the price. People at the reception were nice though.
