  : nothing. there is not a single redeeming quality for this hostel.
  : everything - this is a low budget, stay only if you must location

  : Everything I rate here is considering the fact that both Booking.com and Europa Hostel informed up front that the hostel is under reconstruction and to pardon noise, appearance and discomfort due to this. Even so, the rooms and halls were clean, the toilets and showers hygienic and the manager wonderful. I think the manager is very charismatic, always pleasant; no moodiness or unfair treatment. What I most like is that you can place requests like (limited) printing, directions and other. They take time to draw helpful maps and help out with printing. I like the neighborhood; close to Market Street, the core street around Union Square with bus stops close. The people there may not be fancy but they are friendly, willing to help you find places, buses and stores. I love the sink in the room and hope to get a mirror in room and/ or bathroom in that floor corner. The price was very good for the privacy of a suite. Hope they solve the homelessness problem completely but that is beyond the scope of this rating.
  : I wish there was a mirror available in- or near the room for make up application and so on. Liked everything else, especially for a place under reconstruction.

  : ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
  : I am writing this in hopes that other people do not get swindled by this gentleman, the owner, who was rude, a little disheveled and completely unstable mentally. and completely unreasonable as well. the hostel is literaly falling apart, the floor is slanted, there are exposed cables, electric and media everywhere, they are remodeling and theres a lead warning. he should not be so avaricious and just close down for a month. No chair in room, disgusting shared bathrooms. Booking.com should not permit this hotel in their ranks in this state. My 14 year old daughter can attest to all this, especially the way he treated us. i said i was from puerto rico and he went on a rant about drug cartels in mexico...completely out of line. DO NOT BOOK, EVEN AT $10 A NIGHT. Booking already has my complaint since the day i arrived, and so does my credit card. Enrique

  : If you just need a place to spend the night this an excellent place for the price, the staff is excellent. I also really liked that it didn’t smell like cigarettes. I liked that the room was really close to the bathrooms and shower. It was very quiet which is surprisingly because there were a lot of people on the street. Very easy to check in and out. It’s conveniently close to a liquor store and a pizza place about a block or 2 away.
  : It was a bit of a hassle finding overnight parking so I had to wake earlier than anticipated, the place was fairly clean for the price. I’ve actually made reservations in pricier hotels and they were about the same. It’s in a rough neighborhood but I walked around at night and everything was okay.

  : Here be bedbugs. I was advised not to travel on foot outside the hotel at night or to carry cash due to crime.
