Guest Reviews
- Verified traveler (4/5): - 清算済みなのにも関わらず、請求してきて(よくあるが)、その後の確認もあいまい。
いい加減さが全面に出ているスタッフで、それが宿に出ている。
・キッチンはあるけれどシンクがない(水がない、洗えない)
・Wifiはつながらず、「一度リセットしてみて」と頼んでも対応なし
・貴重品入れはベッド下に一応あるものの、金属製の箱のそれは錆ていて、中はごみと埃まみれで死んだゴキブリがいた
・駅もバス停も近く、ロングストリートにも近いので立地だけはよい
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice place situated downtown. Not best area at night but fine during the day. Right next to the market and some restaurants.
- Verified traveler (10/5): safe and friendly - the locked gate was a nice touch when my friend and I were followed home from some aggressive bar patrons.
the staff was very friendly and accommodating.
they are thoughtful enough to have water and beer for sale in the lobby.
- Rachel (10/5): Great stay, great staff - I stayed at Forty8 for 5 nights and it was a very pleasant stay. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. The rooms and bathrooms were always kept clean, even at full capacity. The kitchen was spacious and also a nice place to chill. The only thing I would recommend is to be able to play a different channel in the kitchen than in the reception area because the guys spent a lot of time watching soccer
- Verified traveler (4/5): Better watch your belongings - We spent two nights in this hostel. The first problem appeared at check-in, when the rate was a different than expedia told us. The staff was very cooperative and clarified this issue with expedia. The second problem was, that my girlfriend and me couldn't stay in one dorm which was other than we booked it. The major issue was, that someone stole my smartphone which I charged under my pillow while sleeping. I don't give any responsibility to the staff, but the doors of the room don't lock automatically and if anyone forgets to lock the door anyone can enter. This happend quite a lot of times in the night.
At least we didn't feel any vibe in this hostel.
