6/10
The hostel itself is okay, it has good amenities, such as a laundry, kitchen, bar and patio area which is very pleasant. I was in a four bed dorm on the 5th floor and the fellow guests were quiet and respectful. There was some noise from larger groups on the floor, but not after 10pm. There was only one toilet and shower to share between three 4 bed dorms which I think really isn’t enough. To use another toilet you need to go down to another floor. The building is old, dingy and dated, but not dirty.
The staff were mostly friendly, I was able to leave my luggage before check in and after check out for free. No free towel, had to pay extra and you had to put your own bed sheets on your bed too, which I’ve not done before at another hostel.
The area around the hotel is not the nicest, there’s a lot of poverty in the area and you can definitely see this. Was approached in the evening by a guy in the alley approaching the hostel asking for money. Was a bit unswerving. Was also told by another guest that the street the hostel is one’s one of the most notorious in the city. However, I felt fairly safe in the day, just keep an eye out.
