Shame on those who wrote fake positive review. Of course they only have a few reviews, if you look at their profiles.
a) They do not keep the windows open, and there is no proper ventilation system or AC. I breathed in every air the Chinese dude - who ate garlic during the day - exhaled at night. The awful smell of the room, I had never every had such experience anywhere in the world. The did not care at all. They lie that, they will open the windows at 9AM, but they never did, during the time I was there.
b) The restroom, shower, and the faucet are separate. The faucet and the hair dryer are located inside the room, in a way that, when someone washes hands or use the hair dryer, the bed bunks that are located 20 cm from the area, will be bothered. The restroom and shower area are so small that it is hard to move around even even 10 cm.
c) On your arrival and without notifying in advance, they ask you to do an online check-in using the QR code. This is despite all the information you provided before, and takes a lot of time, since literally the only information they do not require is your under wear size. You have to provide a dozen of personal information, and accept their own privacy agreement.
d) the staff are rude, and aggressive, such that it is your fault that the so called hostel is awful in this way. Remember to be bold and rude with them as you have paid for the service. Since without prior notification they force you to fill that detailed online check-in, this is against the law. They do that to whitewash the dirty business they have to host the Indian/Bangladeshi/Pakistanis migrants, who reside there.
e) I saw many many Indians, Bangladeshi, and Pakistanis in the hostel. Some work in the city and reside in this hostel. The fact that you must do several rounds of check-in but you the tourists, and not those Indo/Pakistani workers, raises red flags!!!
