After an hour in the building, I was already searching for a new accomodation. It felt more like a halfway house than a hostel. Despite a renovated enternace, the majority of the facilities are very old, cold, poorly lit, and dirty. Bed sheets had stains, rooms were not properly cleaned, light switches didn't work. There was a roach in the tiny shared upstairs bathroom. The wifi also stopped working. It reeked of alcohol and weed from the early evening. They are in the middle of renovating the property, so hopefully things improve (the living room and downstairs bathroom are finished and ok), but I don't feel it is currently suitable for guests. The window in the shower upstairs was not even set into the wall properly (you could see through to the outside around the frame!). Roofing work was being carried out while we stayed, and a worker came in our room to check for a leaking pipe. Management seemed stretched thin. Interactions with guests were often stressed. They are clearly making investments in the property. Hope they can turn things around, because the location is great.
