I Traveled over 1800 miles only to be turned away and accused of being a local. I realized i misplaced my id when first checked in. I left for 10 minutes and when i found it i returned but the receptionist said he didnt care i had an out of state ID he didnt believe i wasnt local because i didnt bring enough luggage for only a 2 night stay. I showed him my boarding pass from Chicago that morning and he didnt care. I had to cancel my entire vacation and spend over 150$ for a flight home. I stayed at the Bungalow hostel next door last year and they were much more professional.

Carlos here is giving us 2 stars because he did not arrive in time for check-in (not our fault) and he thought he would be entitled for get a refund on his deposit. On a completely busy weekend where every hotel in LV was completely sold out and with us not having time to re sell his bed… so yeah, sad… and we don’t know how hotels dot com lets him review when they can see he never stayed with us.

It was my first stay in the hostel, and I didn't know what to expect. I had cancelled my booking in one of the hotels(Circus Circus) on strip to book this one. Price was almost same, but I went with cancellation as they would charge another 30$ per night as resort fee. Now, in retrospect, I would not have cancelled it. 1. The room was noisy in the night from outside road sounds. 2. In the bath room there were no shelfs or racks to place our cloths. 3. The bed was shaking and blankets were not in a good condition.

Excellent Security Features
Excellent location for bus or walking to downtown and the strip. VERY clean and has superior security features for entry to all of the access points utilizing the "Goki" app - no physical keys needed - making access denied for non-guests. The customer service is very friendly and professional. Don't let the word "hostel" throw you off from staying here.

Kind and accommodating property manager. Appreciated ability to hang out in common space and do work during my stay. Typical hostel experience, have to be ready to share overnight space with others (and their noise). Targeted toward international clientele.

Great staff. It's about a 25 minute walk to Fremont Experience. In the other direction one can dine at Denny's or IHOP for a 15 minute walk southward from the hostel.

Great. Met and talked with people from 6 different countries and others from around the country. Staff was warm and friendly. Breakfast was great, more than I expected. Walking distance to several things to do and see. They can arrange day trips for you. I highly recommend staying here.

Decent for price. Manager was GREAT (not owner)
It’s a hostel so you can expect much. One guess was very loud as he came in late night and had no regard for others in the room. On a weekday stay there was available bottom bunks in my room, they still place someone on my top bunk. Front desk lady barley spoke English, took forever to check in. The manager (not owner) was great he helped out with a lot and was very accommodating. The owner was kind of condescending and thought he was better than everyone else and just spoke to people when he wanted there money.

Response from The Manager and Owner on 2021/7/8
Thank you for staying with us. Thank you for pointing out the loud guest, we wish we could be there at night and catch these people when they are being loud but that would be very creepy. The front desk girl was being trained and therefore she was slow checking you in, sorry about that. The situation with bottom bunks might have happened due to a No Show reservation, we always fill bottom bunks first. So that bed was reserved for someone who didn't show up. I don't know who you thought of as the "owner" but I don't think that me working on the desk 4 days a week, making and being the cook during our free bbqs, offering free breakfast, pressure washing the building in the mornings with my own equipment, building out the backyard furniture would be seen as condescending to any of my guests. What kind of greedy owner am I where I work and do all these things to keep my business open? One thing is true, I want to collect our rents from people because 1. That's how this industry works and 2. I have bills and employees to pay while trying to recover from Covid losses =)

Friendly and fun
I’m a solo female traveler and I stayed in a mixed dorm at Sin City. Overall it was very fun and a great experience. I felt welcomed and safe. I ended up leaving to go to Hollywood, then returning and the staff were very accommodating. I attended one of their free events and it was a great experience. The outdoor patio was a nice addition and I spent a bunch of time there, meeting other guests. I was the only female in my dorm, and the staff made it clear that they’d switch me to an all female dorm if I ever felt uncomfortable. I’m more of a tomboy, so while unnecessary it was a nice gesture. The rooms were clean, and the bathroom was pretty big. The bed wasn’t amazing- very springy, but I spent so much time running around Vegas that when it was time to sleep I was out like a light. They have the room keys electronic via app, as well as a pin if you don’t have your phone. I was impressed by the technology and the idea that I could message via the app anyone staying there. I would definitely recommend and I plan on coming back when in Vegas.

Chris & George were great, only issue was the Goki app because it would have made things easier at check in to have had notice to download the app instead of suddenly at check in

We are surprised to see this guest reaction, he had requested a bottom bunk bed due to injuries he had and we made sure he got a bottom bunk. He was very nice to all our guests and staff, we even talked and engaged several times, he was complimenting our Hostel and staff the whole time he was here. Not once did he complain about the hostel or his dorm or our facilities. Weird

Could be good by focusing on what is important
I was in a room of 8 people and one of my roommates locked the bathroom door before exiting the bathroom. So we didn't have access to the bathroom for several hours. If they are going to be a pothead friendly place. They need to configure their bathroom door lock to not allow the door to shut when in a locked position. There are locks that do this. The bed/pillow were horrible. I'm comfortable in about any bed, but my bed and pillow were uncomfortable. The continental breakfast was a nice touch, but I would rather they safe their money and buy new beds. And supply toiletries. They do not provide body soap or shampoo. This is crazy seeing how the TSA has regulations on carry these items in your carry-on. So they are not convenient to bring. There were only 4 lockers for 8 beds that could hold a carry-on bag. All though they did have a bunch of tiny lockers to hold a wallet, phone, other small stuff.
