Hamtramck Hostel

Travis was an excellent host, but this place is old, the building is old, old, old. It needs to be gutted and renovated. It’s just creepy and old, and not the cleanest. For example, why not pull the urinals out of the wall instead of trying to cover them up with a plastic bag? It’s just a place to lay your head for one or two nights and that’s it.

Staff were helpful and with good communication to guests.

Awesome spot to rest and recharge. Easy to get in and out of. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Great for solo travelers on a budget.

It's a clean room to rest your head. Staff is nice. No complaints here. Check out Remas nearby for some amazing food.

its hard for me to complain too much because at the end of the day the room was $77. That being said, there is a level or cleanliness i expect from any rentable room. the place is very dirty. the floors walking in were an immediate telling of how the rest of the place looks. there were 2 bathrooms near our room. 1, someone had taken a shower in so everything was wet and there was hair everywhere. 2, there was hair shavings around the sink. dried sticky pee all over the toilet seat. there was nothing to clean with either. there is a paper on the door for employees to sign off when they are cleaning it, the paper was from MAY. it is August. no wipes or spray that I could find or I would have done it myself. I put a small cardboard container of leftovers in the fridge before bed. the fridge clearly hadn't been cleaned in weeks, fyi. went to grab my food in the am and someone else's food leaked grease all over mine and the bottom of the fridge so obviously my food was ruined. the room was fairly clean. the sheets were clean. under the bed was disgusting. a.c. was great though. what it seems to me is the employees are just lazy. I originally called before checkin asking if I could switch to a non-bunk room and the man said i could do that but he had no idea what the price difference would be and couldn't tell me over the phone, odd. the woman I checked in with was in her pajamas on her phone lounging while the place needed cleaning in multiple areas.
