Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was the most disgusting and poorly managed hostel I've ever experienced. The bathrooms looked like they hadn't been cleaned in 20 years - mildew, grime, and hair all over the floor and walls. Same with the rugs and floors. The kitchen is absolute chaos. Management is completely unresponsive and uncaring.

Reviews older than 6months are very much out of date. Rooms are clean, bathrooms freshly remodelled and overall it's a quiet building. Location is its best quality and there is no elevator so zero accessibility options.

Highlights of my stay were the showers that never run hot (or warm even), stained sheets, a kitchen that never opens, and carpet littered with toenails.
