I had a really unfortunate experience at this hostel. I booked earlier in the day through Expedia and was promised check-in instructions via email within 30 minutes. Despite contacting them multiple times that evening, I received no response. The instructions finally arrived at 1:00 AM, leaving me stranded outside for over an hour in the middle of the night. Once inside, the experience did not improve. Other guests were extremely rude, yelling at me and making me feel uncomfortable. The bunk beds were child-sized, and I ended up having to rest in a living room recliner. On top of that, the restroom was dirty, and I saw cockroaches in the shower area. lhave video footage of this, which I will attach. I ultimately left after about three hours because I couldn't sleep or feel comfortable at all. Despite all of this, my request for a refund was denied. The lack of communication and the refusal to address these issues made this a terrible experience. I wouldn't recommend this hostel to anyone.

This ended up being a scam. I won’t ever work with Expedia again . I traveled to this city and went all the way down to the address just to find out that the person who opened the door had no idea who I was. Im a woman traveling by myself and I’m so glad that I was in my own country and could go to a nearby hotel and stay there. What if this happened half way around the world? The area was a very dangrous area too and I was starting to get creeps that finally I noticed that it’s a scam. Iexpedia you lost a very loyal customer. Endangering your clients trying to be Airbnb without vetting your owners. I’m done with expodeka . Ps I’m still waiting for my refund.

I don't know when the guest before me checked out but he had my assigned bed. I had to sleep with dirty blankets and pillows.

I never even got out of the car. I drove up and it looked like a halfway house for degenerents. There were a group of people hanging around outside and on the sidewalk and might look like they would knife you if you weren't careful. Most of the cars in the immediately neighborhood were abandoned or lived in junkers. I did not feel safe leaving my car let alone parking it on the street overnight. I have no idea the inside as I never let my car, just kept on driving.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Absolutely not as advertised. There was no off street parking options. There was no parking on the street as the area was crowded. There was no laundry as the machines were broken. Owner was a black hole and never responded to anything at all either before during or after the booking. Absolutely do not recommend.
