Youth Space

Good location for checking some popular places around the city center

I come there during Chinese new year holiday, the owner was not there. I was helped by some room mates, they were very helpful. But the room hygiene was not okey, blanket, pillow, bed was dirty, restroom was not cleaned and had bad smell.

Location, staff

Not clean

Location, well priced, Joe is very friendly and has a beautiful well trained friendly cat. He’s also engages with guests and takes them places, which is not common and nice to see.

Hard beds, single toilet/shower for all guests, not easy to find (not signposted well), not a lot of space to store stuff.

Theft at the hotel, be sure to ask before checking in. I want to share an unpleasant situation that I encountered in this hostel. When I wasn't at the hotel, my iPhone charger was stolen from me. is there no luggage storage in the hotel itself? so I had to leave it under the pillow of my bed. Well, you didn't help me from stealing anyway. when it was the last Dime of my stay and I had to leave, but the phone was running low and I was without additional charge, that is, they just left me without a charged phone. I contacted the owner of the hostel. He was out of town at the time. I described the situation to him, and in the end I received banal words of regret. then, after a meaningless conversation, I asked for a refund of the price of the charging unit for me, since I considered it an omission of the hotel that they did not warn the storage rooms of valuables. then I got ignored by him. a few days later, he wrote to me and said that a tragedy had happened to him, although in his story I can see that he was just having fun going to clubs with the guys, it was also very unpleasant because I was just being deceived. I was offered to give away old chargers that are not original, which can harm my phone, I refused because I had an original charger that I bought for the full price. Naturally, I refused and asked for a refund. I'm still being ignored. also, there are a lot of problems in the hotel itself, first of all, it is very dirty, everything is very dirty, everything is covered with dust, especially the toilet and bath, there is dirt everywhere and does not even provide toilet paper, that is, you need to buy everything yourself. The beds themselves are also dirty, with old curtains that don't fully close. in general, theft, dirt, dust and the terrible attitude of the owner is what you get in this hotel.

The atmosphere of the people is good and cost-effective

if you're into meeting new people of different races, you'll definitely get that priceless experience of interacting and connecting with such travellers. Their views and experiences about life and travelling are really amazing. You'll learn a lot from them while drinking some beer. What i liked most is that the respect i got since I was the only lady to stay that night and they're mix of Russian, Chinese, Pakistani, Polish, etc. The other guests really set boundaries not only in terms of gender, but also in terms of differences in opinion on religion, politics, race, etc. and so we had a peaceful intellectual arguments and discussions that night. As a frequent solo traveller, this kind of experience is really unforgettable for me.
