Not what we were expecting at all
I want to make it clear that the two of us have stayed in hostels multiple times - both separately and as a couple - so this review is taking into account the fact that Crashpod is not a hotel and isn't pretending to be one.
That being said, the room that we booked was not at all what we were expecting. It was tiny, almost closet-sized, with a cot for a bed. You can see this from the pictures, but I still wanted to include it as context. The room was described as "private" but I would disagree with this description - the doorway had large gaps above and below the door, presumably for ventilation, which make it possible to see, hear, and smell the other guests. There were also no windows and the room was extremely hot and stuffy, despite the fact that it was only around 65 degrees outside. Also, other guests had clearly been smoking inside the hostel and the entire room reeked.
I don't have a ton to say about the other facilities - the hostel itself was cute and seemed clean enough, the staff that we spoke with were friendly and somewhat helpful - because we ultimately decided not to stay. I gave the hostel a head's up that we were not satisfied with the room and I was not offered any kind of refund, which is why I feel the need to write this review. I hope others booking these private rooms understand what they are getting into before paying.
