The worst
The worst place I’ve ever stayed, we booked a room altogether months ago and the woman said we are all going to have to be split into different hostel rooms, she said they need that room for another group of three who haven’t booked in yet.. we are young women, after a very long conversation a manager came over and said we could just have that room, everything filthy all the toilets were broken and had poo in them, looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in years, we were worried after reading review about bed bugs but they were putting new mattresses on the beds that day but left the plastic on them so all night they were crunching. I travel a lot and have stayed in a lot of hostels this is by far the worst! One good point is it’s very close to the stadium and restaurants!

Never again
Door didn't work properly, and some random person came in in the middle of the night, my niece's sheets had what looked like dried blood on them, so she slept on the quilt from another bunk.

Except for the amazing location, this Hostel is home to shabbiness, dirt and most importantly “Bed Bugs”. Stay at your own risk

The offer stated it came with a complementary massage and that turned out to be not the case. The room smelled like some type of burnt oil and the kitchen was closed.
