We booked a room mistakenly one day late than we needed. When I found it out one day before our check in time, we were not able to make the change because it passed the free cancellation deadline. So we booked another room. Upon our arrival, the staff found our situation and agreed to give full refund for the mistakenly booked room without our asking. He was super nice and helpful. The room and bathroom are very clean. We appreciated it truly.

Goss

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Okay. Place was very clean, amenities were good to great, location is nice. But dear Lord the doors. All the room doors have door closers that are set to slam the living daylights out of the door in the last 6 inches of the swing, so when people enter or exit their rooms (which happens about 5 times a minute) there is the equivalent of a sonic boom that reverberates through the entire hostel. It actually got so bad it became comical. I don’t know if it’s an oversight or some form of passive aggression to ensure guests leave smartly, but in the context of a place where the chief activity is sleep, one wonders how this could have been overlooked.
