First off, Orion hostel doesn’t exist anymore. If you reserve this property, you will be sent to “Ametyst Hostel” by an email. Ametyst hostel is more like a homeless shelter than a hostel. I don’t mean that in a derogatory way— I’m sure the middle aged male uber drivers living there are going through some heavy stuff. I just wish they would wear a shirt in the common space. I never write reviews, but I’m writing this because the owner canceled my reservation so I wouldn’t write a bad review.

DO NOT BOOK! Horrible experience at “Orion.” For starters, there is no Orion hotel. You’re going to staying at Amethyst. They never explain this name change, you find out while trying to find the place. They the address on HW is wrong. The phone number on HW is also wrong. After I finally figure this out, I was eventually let into a dingy, dirty place with almost no staff. To top it off, they cancelled my reservation after check in to prevent me leaving a review. Wish I could add pics.
