Hostel - 6/10

The breakfast was simple but there were flies around the kitchen. Went inside the bedroom and fruit flies were hovering over my bottom bunk bed because the trash next to me was full! Bathroom were OK clean. The bathrooms need more hanging hooks or even a little mini table to put toiletries on there and hang towels (if need to). Most hostels I’ve stayed were pretty up kept but this one was probably a 6/10 - I don’t think I would recommend that it!

Liked: Cleanliness
In general I love the Rumi. The location is excellent if you need access to public transportation, dining/grocery options, and K-town. One thing to be aware of - the hostel did not have front desk staff before 11:00 AM. If there was available staff, I did not see a method to contact them. If they were there - there was no way to know who they were. This is highly inconvenient in cases where you have questions, or need help. My recommendation is that during check-in, ask all of the questions you have at that time OR make sure to talk to staff when you see them which is generally after 11:00 AM.

Amazing location and stay, 10 minute walk from the D line. Staff went above and beyond to correct a mistake I made by selecting the wrong dorm and were able to get me a room regardless. Room was clean, beds were clean and the place was secure. Very much so recommend staying here 10/10.

Honestly it’s great if you’re stopping by and quick in and out. The bathrooms are a bit aged and so is the property but it gets the job done. I thought the breakfasts were going to be premade but you have to make them yourself. No real issues the staff were super friendly and nice! I would definitely come back again if I need to be in the area
