Disappointing. This place had a lot of potential but clearly prioritizes its bar and kitchen over its hostel guests. First night involved a bumping post-drag show viewing party that went to 1 a.m. The bass was high and could be felt through the walls of our room. Upon requesting staff to turn down the bass, we were told that it would be over soon. It continued. Upon asking again to the manager, she told us she couldn’t do anything about it because “we are a party hostel”. This was such a simple request to ask the DJ to adjust the bass, but her blank stare and refusal to make an effort was irritating. Staff stress that this wouldn’t happen again, but that was not entirely true.
Following night: karaoke that went late (though not as loud.
Night after that: a 7 year olds birthday party followed by an anniversary party that played loud music starting at 11pm
This place makes no sense on what it’s trying to be. 6th floor common area is pretty sad. Heavily stained furniture, bent aluminum benches, and 0 tables on the last night as they were removed to host the anniversary party. I cannot recommend this place despite its convenient location and relatively new facilities. Management drove the low score here, but I’ll break it down below:
Location: 5
Cleanliness (room): 4
Cleanliness (common area): 3
Staff: 3
Management: 0
Facilities: 3
If you do stay here DO NOT stay in 533 or 512. You will hear every activity going on in the common area and will receive zero effort to resolve.
