Much like a paid jail stay, the “boutique” “hostel” always delivers the goods. Brutish staff, gross facilities and the usual coterie of drug addicts await you!

I had a good time here. It’s an adventure, you roll the dice. The whole panoply of humanity is represented, even the entitled. The fridge looks like a crime scene and the guys that run it are like capos from some lost detention center, but I found a way to enjoy.

This is not the place that you wanted to sleep in, it’s worse than sleeping in the street and you will get sick if you were to stay in this place, no toilet paper, no hand soap, no clean environment, the pictures you saw on the posts is a old picture and don’t you think of booking this place. My friend and I stepped in to the door and we just looked at each others, don’t book if you don’t feel comfortable sleeping with a stranger in this situation, it is better to sleep in a car than this.

Dingy Place, Not For Travelers

They posted old pictures of the property. This place is rundown & dirty not "boutique" (just like its sister property, Green HomeStay). Beware...the house manager of Boutique Homestay is very slow to respond when you need to check in & he'll have you waiting outside the property for a long time. This place also has a security guard, who is as discourteous as the manager. Many of the people staying there are homeless locals.

The not-so-boutique dump stay.

There was nothing essential or “boutique” about this place. There was no towels, no hand soap, no toilet paper, no air conditioning, NO NOTHING!! And the hostel manager was a jerk! Checking in with this guy was such a pain!! Always left me and a friend of mine on voicemail whenever we tried calling to check in. I hate how there was no front desk check in, it was all virtual, and the fact they didn’t offer free parking was just the worst. I’m constantly struggling to find a decent spot in the street without risking a parking ticket and I just did not wanna wait till the last day to leave this dump of a place. Me and a friend got out of there ASAP! Never staying in a hostel ever again.
