The room was surprisingly large. The beds were clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful. We went in the middle of the week so prices were very reasonable.

I booked the hostel and yes I understand how hostels work, a bunk in a shared room with shared bathroom facilities. I’m ok with that, no frills is what I expected. The issue however was the facility was literally a very small cinderblock room unattached to any other building. The “grounds” were nonexistent. It literally looked like what I imagine ground zero of a bomb explosion looking like. Gravel piled up, no trees or grass or cute colored chairs around an outdoor seating area as the advertised picture showed. Only a couple other cinderblock buildings in various degrees of demolition. Inside was very dark, only a trickle of light from an outdoor street lamp seeping in. I tripped over luggage and shoes (I think) in the dark, cramped room. It was late and I had little choice but to just lay on the bunk until the sun came up and I could leave. I imagine the cleanliness was lacking, perhaps the reason for poor lighting. To say that I was blown away by this accommodation would be accurate, however in the most negative way imaginable. If you are looking for a war torn experience without the danger of death, (tetanus being the exception), this hostel is the clear winner. If you book this hostel expecting a clean, reasonably priced, no frills, cute colored chairs around outdoor seating area type of experience…. you will be sorely disappointed.

The property was clean and updated with a king size bed. The bathrooms were nicely updated with tile but there was no hot water. The property was well lit but outdated on the exterior. The locations was nice, just a few blocks from Duvall St.

Expedia shows beautiful pictures of a courtyard with grills. That area is no longer available. It's a complete pile of rubble and cement pieces as they prepare to put in a pool there. When I booked the property, I did not see that Expedia mentions that the property is under construction, but it is buried way down in the property write up. It is not clearly identified by Expedia at the top of the description of the place nor are the pictures changed so what you see is NOT what you will get!!! We left after one evening and demanded a refund because that isn't that right! They do not upfront communicate that the property is under instruction. BEWARE!!!

The staff was great. The room was clean. It was just very small for the price. It was very convenient to everything so you can walk or bike to all the stuff easily. I would recommend it, but i believe its much cheaper during the week.
