Reviews
The hotel is generally quiet and has friendly staff, with clean rooms and comfortable beds. However, the location is a significant issue, with many reviews mentioning the high number of homeless people in the area, making it feel unsafe. The shared bathrooms are also a point of contention, with some guests finding them clean and others not.

Nothing, horrible place I had a really bad experience. I didn’t feel safe at all when I arrived. There were a lot of people outside the entrance, and I was being bothered before I could even get inside. I contacted both Booking and the hotel to get help, but nobody provided a real solution. I was not offered another hotel or a safe place to stay that night, and I still haven’t received my refund even though this happened four days ago.

BEWARE! I’m a guy in his twenties. The Indian male aged approx 60 who works there after showing me my room proceeded to linger in my room after he’d shown me everything & setup a working fan for the room. He would not leave except just stand & stare at me. He asked where I was from & then began eyeing me & saying how strong the people are from my country were. Next thing I know, he’s squeezing my bicep & his hand makes his way towards my crotch. I grabbed his hand immediately and lightly pushed it away trying to remain professional and polite. GET RID OF THIS MAN!! I was hesitant to write this and not take myself seriously as this happened on March 26th at approx 12pm & from my country telephone calls to the USA cost a fortune so I cannot call to report this. But it made the stay for me quite uncomfortable. If it’s happened to me, I fear it’s happened to other males or females or is going to. Please take the review seriously & I advise you find an alternative place. No member of staff should be putting their hands on guests. Thankfully nothing happened after this for the rest of the week & I only encountered him when pressing the buzzer to let me inside twice. But I thought it was important to write this just incase.

Sort of friendly employees. The location is bad. A lot of shady looking people on the street. Especially, homeless. Could not spot the “buzzer” to the place. I had to wait a few minutes before someone buzzed me inside while homeless walked around. Once inside the building, the shared bathroom is disgusting. I could not trust the bathroom’s doorknob to lock. There wasn’t enough product for the shower assortments. I had to buy my own to make it work. The room I was given made no sense. I had a window— for “fresh” air— but the view is surrounded by four walls and a small opening to let the air through. Dust build up as well. A/C? A standup fan. Room fridge? Pulled, but not even functioning properly. I did not dare to sleep under those bed covers. It’s not a place for everyday. Good price to maybe sleep for the night, but the location is just sketchy. Two doors that need buzzing to enter is already saying enough. Drop “hotel” from the name and replace it with “hostel.”
