Reviews of RK Hostel 2 stars

This is a great place. Well located in little Italy.

For the location it was the cheapest place when I booked a month before. The woman at the front was really helpful and pleasant. Nice patio deck.

The room was particularly small(not like I needed a ton of extra space but just keep in mind). The hot water took about 5 mins to get warm. There were ants on the bathroom floor coming from somewhere. No bathroom showers or hand towels and only one trashcan that was located in the bathroom. Really late check-in time compared to what other motels/hostels usually are, also parking is pretty tricky but I managed to find a spot right in front so just be on the lookout. So all in all if you just need somewhere to sleep and shower it will be sufficient but don't really expect much more than that.

Great staff.

I’m an asthmatic and I booked a non-smoking room. However, when I arrived, the room was a mess with trash, and the one other guest had evidently been smoking. Given the health risk, I ended my booking early and left the next morning, though all of my clothes and bag stunk of cigarette smoke, so had to find a laundromat. Also, when I left, the other guest was sitting up on her bunk, slumped over, apparently on drugs. I had to book a much more expensive hotel at last minute. I have not received a refund from RK Hostel and they have not been responsive.

Plus- Location.

Minus- Place is a homeless shelter. Check in at 7 pm? Room smelled like dead rat. Security is non-existent. No wifi. They did not pick up the phone or replied to email. Spend $10 extra and get bed at another hostel nearby. Customer Service: when I complained about phone not being answered, I believe the manager became aggressive telling me to go find another place. The location is great but everything except that is bad. Who checks in at 7 pm? When I was at property at 6 pm. no staff at front desk. The room smelled like dead rat, bed was metal frame and squeaked all night with every turn.

Located in between train station and airport, easy to access. Kitchen is big with all facilities.

Check-in is very difficult, staff are not available at 4:30pm, you will not have a key to enter. The atmosphere inside is a bit strange.

It’s a 1 star hotel so I didn’t expect much.

It was difficult to get in and out of facility because the front door was always locked.

Great place. Just as expected in advert. Front staff were nice, cool, friendly & accommodating.

Not any specific problem...... .....but like any hostel, or travelers hotel, there should be a requirement (or law) to have private walled off unit for guests that are lockable from the inside like some places have, or European countries have or offer like pods or cubicles separated and lockable to ensure safety while sleeping. Some people are not there for traveling or visiting the area and can/do steal, plug smartphones, cameras, thumbdrives into their laptops, use/alter their personal devices (to; search, instal stalkerware/malware, or corrupt/destroy their device forcing them to buy a new one, etc) or can take a guest's personal belongings, ID's, etc when innocently sleeping. It happens.

Today I was handed hope. Let me quantify. This proprietor reached into his pocket and handed me a grip of hope. People like this proprietor build Nations. That is how I see it.

All the pro' s are covered. I think that is the point...

It’s affordable and no hassle. I stay here often
