Disgusting hostel, one of the worst I’ve stayed in (and I’ve stayed in quite a few). Bathrooms were disgusting, with mould on the ceiling and puddles on the floor. Bunk beds were rickety and felt like they were moments away from collapsing. The stairwell reeked of urine. The dorm room was dusty, dark and smelly, with roaches. One of the toilets was missing a button, so that you had to reach into the cistern to flush it. I didn’t use the kitchen or shower. I checked out a day early because I just couldn’t stay there any longer. Just because it’s a budget hostel does not mean that travellers should be subject to such conditions. At least the staff were lovely. Unfortunately that doesn’t make up for the disgusting living conditions.

The facilities were obviously very old, there were other patrons shouting very loudly well after midnight, the communal fridges looked very unclean and smelled like off food. Additionally, the elevator wasn't very efficient and took ages to move one floor, the other patrons wouldn't handover the use of the TV to anyone else. The bathrooms had no racks or shelves to place toiletries or clothes, and the bed was extraordinarily squeaky. As well as other roommates sleeping all day long, preventing adequate lighting and a sense of unwelcomeness.

We found small bugs crawling around in the food cabinets and there were scraps in the sink drain. There were very few dishes to choose from & several of those were dirty. The eating tables hadn't been cleaned in a while. We couldn't wait to get out of there.

I travel a lot and mostly skip the review part if it was bad and give reviews only the good ones but this time, I have to do it. I stayed here on 11//21-11/23. Starting with bad service. The check in person got irritated when I ask him to repeat. He has an accent but if I am patient with him, he should try the same especially he is the one who giving service. He became shot for any answers given. The next day, the front desk girl was worse. Starting I said good morning when I was putting the linen in the basket at the front office and she acknowledged me. I checked out a few minutes later and she asked me if I strip and put the linen in the basket!! She was reading the magazine the whole time on conversation. The airport shuttle was late and I asked her to check for me so I don’t have to pay international call from my cell phone. She ask if I have the ticket. I replied, yes I got it from you guys yesterday and showed her the paid ticket. She still asked whether I had paid for it!! I asked whether ones can get ticket if not paid? She replied ‘yes you can!’ And continued looking down at her magazine with no other words, no explanation nor response to my asking for help. I had to call the shuttle on my cell phone paying internaltion rate. Next day, I was itchy all over and saw numerous red itchy bumps on my arms, legs, shoulders and back. Total more than 40 bite bumps!! Bad bed bugs bite! I strongly recommend not to stay here but feel free to prove it yourself.

Don't normally leave negative reviews but 10 years ago this was a good place to stay. Now, compared to sleeping on the street and using the public toilets it was probably marginally better. If you want shelter and a modicum of security on a tight budget this might be for you. Other than that I'd give it a wide berth/miss.
