Excellent value but there is a cost!

Okay so I’m a 54 year old married woman and not the target market client for a hostel. However we wanted a cheap centrally located place to stay. On the plus side it’s cheap and a safe location, even if a bit mixey. The staff were super helpful (especially Grant), the room (we had a private en-suite room) was spotless and the bed comfy. Also there was free breakfast from 6am and cheap food in the evening. On the negative side the room was tiny and very noisy during the night. On our first night someone blow dried their hair at 2am in the communal bathroom waking us up. On the second night someone was violently sick. We got little sleep! However after the first night I was saying this is brilliant why do we normally stay in hotels but after the second realised there was a reason we did. So all in all good value for money but remember it’s a hostel aimed at young people and not oldies like me!

This was a great place, but there was no air conditioning in the room so it was very hot when sleeping. The area around the Hostel was a little sketchy, but one block east or west and the area seemed fine. It is what you would expect from staying in any large city downtown. It also kind of reminded me of Times Square in NYC.

Too hot.

The room was hot. Like, stiflingly hot. I was on the top floor, room 307. The small fan and tiny window did nothing. The room did not cool down to an even slightly comfortable level till around 3:00am and even then was still likely around 27 degrees. Oh, and there was a literal murder just outside at 3:30. The sirens made it impossible to sleep even though the room had finally cooled down. Would not stay again.
