Expensive items disappeared from my room on checkout date (Sept 2, 2016) after a stay with this hostel for medical school orientation. I filed a police report and am going to a small claims court:
Following a thorough look through cleaning rooms, the reception lost-and-found, and also the room I stayed in -- after confirmation that my classmate/ roommate did not have my things, and that she recalled seeing them on my bed before she left and before I arrived to take them -- we could not find them.
So (as mentioned) I filed a complaint that evening with the local police department, and am now going to a small claims court to compel the hostel to pay for replacements since they refuse to do so on their own good will for their clear liability. Sad situation, and obviously not something I want to deal with as a busy student.
Do not stay at this place. Your expensive belongings are not safe there.
A really good motel for a low price.
charming location
Jewish hostel. Uncomfortable, that everyone who lives in the room - only one room key.
I wrote a review previously, but it seems it was erased. I stayed here from August 15th and was supposed to remain until the 30th. I ended up leaving (whilst still paying for the hostel) that night. The air conditioner did not work and the rooms doubled as saunas - we asked to have it repaired but because it was the weekend, the front desk neither seemed to care nor were they particularly fond of our presence. I understand that it is a hostel but putting 4 beds in such a tiny room made a prison cell seem preferable and due to the lack of central air, the hallways were steamier than our rooms. I finally managed to talk management into giving our party a new room with a "functioning air conditioner" and decided to move back after spending $375 on a better hotel in the area - bad idea - this time I woke up with flea bites all over my legs.
Please find another place. I am telling you this as a traveler and a student.
