Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
I gave this two stars because it is a hostel, it is relatively affordable, and they do not claim anything in their ads that isn't true. However, I found the room to be uncomfortably warm and the window did not open easily, there were ants in the room, and the bed(s) were very uncomfortable. The shared bathroom was clean but smelled like sewage each time we went in there. The breakfast was very limited. Our floor was very noisy, with people running around and yelling/talking loudly until 2:00 in the morning. We had booked two nights but left after one. We would not stay there again, but for those whose priority is affordability and don't mind roughing it, it might be ok.

It’s silly that you won’t accept out of city residents. We drove 90 minutes to stay. While I appreciate the exception, why have such a policy?
