This is not a hostel. It is a homeless shelter and should not be advertised on Expedia. There are no on site staff to sign you in. It is done via camera and tv. The place is not clean and there are no amenities. The pictures used show a social area with young backpackers but this is definitely how the building is now.

I booked an eight bed dorm and was given a ten bed dorm. The downstairs kitchen is full of bugs. The upstairs kitchen is cleaner. The demographic is 50+ plus males.
