Our private Booked room was given to other people. After waiting 45 minutes Then we were sent to a new hostel with same owners (its almost 1 am now) to then be given a room with dirty bedding covered in pubes a mysterious brown stain and cockroaches in the corner. Not to mention the no WiFi and smoking smells….

False advertisement from what they posted on Expedia! There is no staff on site, you call for check in, which was worrisome to have to hold the phone because of how dirty everything is. When you enter the hotel your instantly met with mold on walls and dirty floors. The elevators buttons don’t all work and can hardly fit two people with carry-on luggage. Even though the hostel was terrible we had hopes the room was better so kept going, but as we shortly found out the room was MUCH worst. Didn’t even think it was possible! The walls had dirt marks and mold all over them, trash and rat droppings were under the bed, the bedding looked as if it hadn’t been washed in months, the bathroom had mold, walls toilet was completely dirty and the house slippers they left looked like they’ve been in mud. We needed leaving immediately and booking another hotel. Still working on getting my refund it’s been several days already. But no fault of Expedia they are saying they’re having trouble getting ahold of the hostel. Hopefully they’ll just refund me and get the money back on their end since this posting was so horrible and false advertisement.

It’s not worth the money. It says it has a shower and a private bathroom but there’s no hot water to have a proper shower. And there was no toilet paper. When I asked for toilet paper they said the delivery will come later and he cannot do anything about it when he could just go buy some and provide for his customers. I called for the hot water too and he said he’ll send someone to fix it. No one did. The bed wasn’t thoroughly cleaned. Dusty and with hair on it. Not worth it. Find something better.

This place is awful. Don't believe those photos: they must have been taken a decade ago, as was the last time anyone cleaned the place. 1) mold the size (and shape) of mushrooms in the bathroom, along with other types of mold as well 2) the mattress was slanted from wear - roll over at your own risk 3) there were loose springs in the mattress that made getting comfortable a difficult task 4) the sink is clogged and a busted pipe causes it to leak directly onto the floor 5) the cable box works but the TV doesn't, probably because the wires on the back are buried in a layer of dust 5mm deep 6) the wallpaper is falling/has fallen off the wall 7) the fans on the ceiling in the bedroom and the bathroom are too molded up to function properly 8) the toilet has a giant hole on top But hey, at least the sheets were cleaned and the floor was swept. Those are the only positives I can think of.

The worst ever! What a rip off.. I could have stayed at better place for the same price.. The room we were assigned to looks perfectly nothing like in the published photos.. Dirty is the only word to sum up my experience staying there.. Room looks like a store room, water heater is like a 100 years old, rusty at the base, walls plastered with what looks like cardboard. Not to mention the toilet.. I do have photos of how the room looks like to back my allegations.

Mold in bathroom. Lots of it. You are told to please your trash and dirty towels outside your door at the end of the day, so that staff may empty your trash bin and replace your dirty towels with clean ones. However, this wasn't done until around 4pm the next day usually, which meant you didn't have a towel or trash to place your toilet paper from using bathroom. The room had a gaping hole where electrical wires were. Hotel had lots of empty beer bottles at entrance. But when you pay $20 something odd dollars a night and just need somewhere to place your head at night, it works. Good locks on the door and fairly safe and quiet.
