Upon arrival I was given a bed. When I went to the room there was someone else in the bed they gave me. Then I was given another bed in an other room. The next night I came back to someone sleeping in my bed. I had to gather my stuff in a completely dark room and be given another bed! 🙃 they only had cold water and provide no soap or towels. Avoid this place!

For a hostel it’s not bad but their key card system didn’t work so any time you left your room you’d have to leave it unlocked or go down to the lobby and wait for someone to let you into the room. The deadbolt didn’t work which was scary

Travelled with group
Door to street unlocked, property unmarked, no staff at desk upon arrival, bathrooms out of order or moldy, dirty pillows and sheets, no available blankets, broken AC in window. Photos look nothing like the actual facility. Other patrons appear to live there and many were drunk in the lobby. I did not stay and sadly realized it too late for a refund. Please remove this property from Expedia so that no one else makes the same mistake I did.

The location is convenient and clean. But the place is super noisy because is located right in front of the metro line. So, don't expect to rest there. Better windows would make a big difference.
