Hostel is used also for people that stay longterm for work or are valuntering to help out in the hostel. Making thecatmosfere feel less hospitible for short stayers ( backpackers) fuirniture was also outdated, broken, smelly. Neighbourhood was full of addicts / homeless people using drugs on the street. House next door appeared to be housing prostitudes. Staff was very laidback, not very active or willing to interact with the guists. I would not recomment this hostel for backpackers.

I had a late check in so they sent me self check in instructions but when I got there at 2am there was still someone at the reception so that was convenient. Simple room in downtown. Its near a homeless shelter but it didn't feel unsafe.
