Not sure if it's because of the pandemic or if it's always been like this, but the place really seemed to need a cleaner. Stayed for several days (out of which we stayed two in the hostel the entire day due to having online classes to attend) and didn't see anyone clean any part of the hostel even once, and the bathroom and hallways seemed permanently stained with mud. It also smelled liked cup-ramen in the whole place and me (natural blonde) and my friend (pink haired latina) found black, asian looking hair in one of the beds.
Now the place was CHEAP so I wasn't exactly expecting a five star experience, but given that my friend prefered using the public subway bathrooms over the ones in the hostel I think it's fair to be a bit critical.
I stayed private room.
I stayed for 3 nights and found 3 roaches and 1 bug.
My body was itchy all the time because of dirty bed.
Sound deadening does not exist in this facility.
No towel and body soap(just shampoo)
No amenities.
I will not recommend to stay here.
