Good reception staff and reception hours. The quality of the room and the furnitures arent great. Also, the toilets are limited. ##### Jayakrishnan Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Talal Nov 29, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities As I selected above plus the molds and stint as you enter the room is something of a migraine. Stay away even if you are on strict budget it’s not worth the migraine and the rudeness of the local staff especially the guy who manages the place ##### Talal Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### B Mar 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities The hostel is fine apart from the fact that it is located next to a major train line and from about 4:30 a.m. all day you will regularly hear the train blowing it's horn and rumbling by. This is heard throughout the hostel but is much worse if you are assigned a room in the building at the back of the property. There isn't even an attempt to mitigate it, the dorm room window was not a proper window that you could close, so it sounded like you are sleeping outside next to the train line. The kitchen could do with another sink. There were lots of lineups to wash dishes and some people just gave up and dumped dirty dishes everywhere. Some small baskets to store food with labels on the baskets would help too, I got the feeling like a lot of the food in the fridges and shelves was from people who had already checked out. ##### B Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### DAVID L Feb 28, 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Property online notes private bathroom for private room reserve option. No private bathroom is on site, You have to share toilets and showers with other guests. Cockroaches in Lobby. Bugs on private room floor. Area around dingy and possibly dangerous. I actually saw a female guest run to the property from a nearby main road. The guest has to be buzzed in and out. Tried to contact Expedia on the inaccurate online note that the private rooms offer private bathrooms but Expedia would only allow calls to their customer service Office and my cell phone would not work outside the United States. I would rate the property a step above being in Jail but not much more. Avoid the site unless all you have is $12 a day for a shared bedroom and that does not include any free breakfast. ##### DAVID L Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan Aug 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very convenient ##### Jonathan Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### JIALIANG Aug 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The room facing the road is a bit noisy at night and early morning. ##### JIALIANG Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Drunk Jul 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Solo trip Ok stay, cold showers ##### Drunk Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Jul 17, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort I booked this hostel just to freshen up before a long flight. It’s not centrally located, but it was close to my previous hotel so it worked out. The receptionist wasn’t very welcoming, and there was no shampoo or soap, you have to walk a bit to buy your own. Towels are available if you leave an ID. I booked a 4-bed dorm but got put in a 6-bed one—not a big deal since I wasn’t staying long. The room was hot, and even though a window was open, it didn’t help much. It’s fine for a quick stop, but not ideal for a longer stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cariari - San Jose Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Cariari-San-Jose-Costa-Rica.h118803.Hotel-Information) > > [Gran Hotel Costa Rica, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Gran-Hotel-Costa-Rica.h15745.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Saskatoon](https://www.expedia.ca/Saskatoon-Hotels.d4117.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Crowne Plaza San Jose La Sabana by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-San-Jose-Corobici.h441323.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mango](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Hotel-Mango.h29702434.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kananaskis](https://www.expedia.ca/Kananaskis-Hotels.d177767.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Calgary Downtown/Beltline District](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Calgary-DowntownBeltline-District.h33777124.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Conde Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Casa-Conde-Hotel-Suites.h1219064.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham San Jose Herradura Hotel & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Wyndham-San-Jose-Herradura-Hotel-Convention-Center.h1377921.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa del Palmar Beach Resort and Spa, Puerto Vallarta](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Villa-Del-Palmar-Beach-Resort-And-Spa.h528713.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Jose Aeropuerto, Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Country-Inn-Suites-By-Radisson.h1039787.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Chocolate Lake Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Chocolate-Lake-Hotel.h11505.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express San Jose Costa Rica Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-San-Jose-Costa-Rica-Airport.h2303711.Hotel-Information) > > [Barceló San José](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Barcelo-San-Jose.h788912.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Regina](https://www.expedia.ca/Regina-Hotels.d4053.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hilton Garden Inn San Jose La Sabana](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-San-Jose-La-Sabana.h10579877.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxhigh Hotel San José](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Hotel-Del-Rey-Casino.h13333495.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Grano de Oro](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Hotel-Grano-De-Oro.h994383.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-By-Hilton-San-Jose-Airport.h921872.Hotel-Information) > > [The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-The-STRAT-Hotel.h41081.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Dhaka (DAC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/dac/calgary-to-dhaka) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yyc/vancouver-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Saskatoon (YXE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yxe/toronto-to-saskatoon) ### Activities > [Things to do in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Ottawa.d178296.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Turkiye](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/183/Turkiye) > > [Blue Mountain Ski Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Blue-Mountain-Ski-Resort-The-Blue-Mountains.d6055441.Vacation-Attraction)
