You have what you paid!
It's cheap hostel in We End but you will get what you paid. Just don't expect much of $16 per night. At least you can have a car parking for free if you have one. There are 2 buildings of the hostel, White and Green, it seems the Green one is for the people who live there for ages but the White one is for new guests. But yeah seems most of people who staying in the hostel have been here a ages. *** the booking website said that you've already paid for the first night or what but the true is you've not. So you have to pay the whole amount on the spot. *** Once you show up and you feel not okay to stay just find the new one cause you can.
The manager was very good and looked after us in regard to the price. The sheets and towels were clean though the rest of the building was a little dirty.
