The location is great, but the WiFi did not work and most things could have been better.

Horrible experience and really messed up my travels... booked online and took a uber here from the airport with my luggage and there was no one at the front desk/ check in !!!! Actually- there was no one in the whole building !! Walked through the property saying "hello??" And nothing . . All doors left open for all the crazy homeless around there who were out front screaming and fighting to get in !! (Extremely unsafe and unsettling) anyway- the check in isnt until 7 (way too late) and i waited there well past an hour, calling, texting, trying to find someone to help me check in and nothing !! Extremely rude and inconvenient to someone like myself who had been traveling all day and in the sun with my luggage (not to mention i have stage 4 heart failure) and just want to get to your room and shower and nap and then end up having your budget messed up and a really awful experience all around... this place waisted my time and money and i do not appreciate that nor do i recommend this place to anyone

The Staff at RK Hostel is Fantastic
So actually I didn't end up staying at RK Hostel. Hotels.com completely misrepresented the room that I had reserved; their photo showed a basic hotel room with two beds side by side, and they said "one room, two beds." But when I arrived it was a bunk bed and I was staying with someone else who I didn't know. I was shocked and sort of gobsmacked. The hotel staff was amazing. I talked to Rita at RK Hostel at 10pm on Wednesday night, explained my situation and she told me they understood that it was not my fault and they would waive the fee completely. She could not have been nicer. Staying in a room with strangers was not for me, but I have to say, every single person on staff that I met was nicer than the last, and so I wanted to make sure I left a review to say so.

Worst hostel ever
The hostel is in terrible conditions. It’s nothing but dirty and greasy in all common areas, there are dirty alcohol glasses and food laying around everywhere, the bathroom are smelling and the sink looks yellow When I showed up after opening time, the manager took an hour and a half to get there because he “had a bad night” They gave me a room that had a literally hole in the wall and has dirty floors. Because of my questions, they gave me another room that has dirty bedsheets. They asked me to leave my stuff (since it’s now my room) and that they would take care of it. When I came back,i was almost jumped outside the establishment by 2 large men lurking on the entrance. I used my keys to get in and someone’s stuff was already there. My bags disappeared I found them on the trash, empty. I left the hostel and gave asked for a refund and a reconstitution of my things to hotels.com They have NOT helped.
