I know it’s about budget hotel/hostel but it’s a bit of a ride from the city center. For those of you don’t mind take the bus or public transportation, it’s good. But I’d never come stay here again. I just didn’t realize it’s not convenient riding on bus and train. There’s a lot of road construction. Traffic isn’t that good. The property is located at a outskirt with loads of residential areas. Lots of immigrants. The staff is also short at times in the front desk. I didn’t have a good experience checking in. I have an Asian look but I’m an American so that front desk manager wasn’t so nice to accommodate my check in. He just said I had to do a self check in and really didn’t sound polite or friendly.

A&O Hotel Review** If you're looking for an affordable stay, A&O Hotel delivers on price, but there are some trade-offs to consider. The furnishing inside the rooms is entirely metal, which might not be ideal for families with young children due to safety concerns. Additionally, the hotel tends to be very busy, which can make for a lively but sometimes overwhelming atmosphere. One notable drawback is the elevator situation—there's only one, and it's quite slow, so expect some waiting time, especially during peak hours. If budget is your priority and you don’t mind these inconveniences, it might still work for a short stay.

We went to stay, not knowing the set up was more like a hostel than hotel. Once we finally registered and paid, we went up to our room in a rickety elevator that had graffiti on the outside near the up/down buttons. The hallway was littered with garbage. We arrived at our room and discovered scuffs on the wall, a window so drafty the curtains were moving while the window was shut, and our TV screen was broken. Also, the restroom was outside our room (we assumed was a shared restroom with the room next to us, but it’s just not INSIDE the room). Complained to the staff that we weren’t going to stay on the property due to the conditions. They offered us a different room, but we declined. We did not stay more than 10 minutes, provided name and email address. Ended up staying elsewhere. Called Expedia and the original hotel/hostel refused to reimburse us due to their offering us a different room. Worst hotel experience. Thankfully we have travel insurance so we may have to file a claim to get our $400 back.

Dieses Hostel bräuchte mal ein komplettes makeover. Wir waren in anderen a&o Hostels, die gepflegter und sauberer waren. Ich habe die Bettwäsche abgezogen und darunter wartete das Grauen, auf Decke und Kissen große gelbe Flecken, sowie auf der Matratze weiße Flecken. Im Bad roch es die ganze Zeit nach Urin, dicker brauner Rand im WC Becken. WC Brille schief. Die Armatur am Waschbecken sehr verkalkt, und das Abflussrohr verkeimt von außen. An der Decke im Bad ein schwarzer größerer Wasser/Schimmelfleck. Man hatte das Bad nicht im Zimmer, das ist in diesem Hostel nicht ersichtlich in der Buchung. Man kann das WC mit persönlichen Sachen nicht von außen abschließen und nebenan ist noch ein Zimmer mit Bad. Man hat einen Vorraum, wo Zimmer .12 und .13 zusammen in den Vorraum rein können. Hab ich so bei den anderen a&o Hostels nicht erlebt. Fand ich irgendwie gruselig, wenn man z.B. nachts zur Toilette muss und erst in den Vorraum muss. Ich habe über Expedia gebucht, Die Mitarbeiterinnen an der Rezeption sind dafür super nett.
