The bed sheets were stained, the pillow it self had stains, and I’m talking about the pillow being pretty much yellow... I was on the top bunker and there was dust on the metal part... there was dust hanging from the ceiling (accumulated dust) they don’t really clean. They just sweet and change bed sheets quickly and that’s it. No moping or dusting around .... the bathrooms were always a mess... honestly this has been one of the worst hostel experiences I have ever had... oh plus you have to rent a towel from them because they don’t give you one for the stay for free... it’s not included in the price. Dirty hostel, people who work there don’t really seem to care about anything... the girl in the front desk is friendly hit the guy saw me with my big luggage and just stayed in the sofa eating and watching tv, didn’t even offer to help me get my luggage down, which when I arrived, the girl did help me carry my luggage upstairs... I would not recommend this place to anyone, unless you really have to stay here... plus it felt super humid in the rooms, like the rooms need some fresh air or something.. it was not a good experience after all.

Bed bugs beware! Manager refused full refund!

Got bit by bedbugs had to leave. The staff didn't seem shocked or surprised when I showed them the bites. My arms and legs were covered in bites. Manager refused to give a full refund.
