BEWARE of double private room!! We booked a private double through booking.com and upon arrival were offered a discount if we cancelled our booking through the app and paid directly. We were a little confused but thought alright sure… paid the money and were shown to our room. We now realise it’s so we could not leave a bad review on Booking.com. Unfortunately the room was very small, had no windows and an AC unit that did not work. The room was very stuffy and hot and when we asked about the AC, the lady said it was broken, she was kind enough to then provide us with a very small fan that did not work very well. We stuck out 3 very sweaty nights on the not very comfortable bed as we didn’t want to make a fuss. There are also people living there permanently and as a result the small kitchen was often messy, dishes piled high and food over the bench, and staff sleeping in a small alcove in the hallway. It’s a shame to leave a bad review like this as some of the other rooms seemed perfectly fine, with windows and working AC and the bathrooms were clean, however there were only 2 for the whole hostel… not enough!

The staff was exceptionally friendly, very accommodating, and flexible on all levels. The staff was the most memorable thing about this hostel. I really liked the kitchen, central location, and reasonable price. However, this hostel is not for everyone. It is small with many people, two bathrooms were often occupied, and I don’t remember any windows for fresh air.

The staff here is exceptional. They were very welcoming and helpful. The location also is great. Five minute walk to Republic, the metro, and lots of nightlife. It’s also a great place to meet other travelers.
