The room was smelly as we entered it and there was no one to answer the call to transfer us to a different room or help in any kind. Even Expedia support tried calling but there was no response. I put in messages on chat and there has been no response. It has been 5 days since I messaged. I have requested for refund and there has been no response. Please do not book this hostel. Colorado Springs has better says at similar rates.
