Only if your desperate

As a hostel, it lacks that certain kindred spirit I find at most every other hostel I’ve stayed in. Mainly, I suspect because it’s in a part of town that has the homeless element ever present. Just my opinion, I probably wouldn’t stay there again if I could make other arrangements. If it was my only option the only way I’d consider it was if it was cheaper than the $50 I paid. More like a $20 a night spot imho

I enjoyed my stay at RK Hostel. Pleasant friendly staff. Affordable prices. It was nice quite and very peaceful. The room that I was in had beautiful paintings with good colour scheme. I enjoyed the fresh night breeze and opened windows. I look forward to staying again! Good job staff!

One of the worst places I've ever stayed at!

Front desk staff took literally half an hour to check us in! We were just standing around waiting for them to determined the rate for the room we booked online, while they made phone calls to someone else trying to figure it out. Then they ended up charging us WAY more than the online rate we were expecting! No parking available but we got lucky and found a spot on the street. Old, dilapidated building. Shower sprayed all over the bathroom, outside the shower stall. Horrible street noise from constant street traffic and large airplane traffic going right overhead all night long and through the early morning. No building sound proofing. No A/C. Had to keep the windows wide open, no screens on the windows. Noticed a transient sleeping in the hallway when we checked out in the morning.
