Hostel

Fun, relaxed place to stay. Great location, friendly staff, good price. Wifi didn’t really work, and it was somewhat loud in the morning, but other than that, a great place to stay for a cheap night or two.

Thurs-​Tues ¹⁰⁄₂₃ till ¹⁰⁄₂₆
Great staff. I had a blast talking and chatting these guys up. Rooms are cheap so don’t expect the best but it is clean and do-​able.
The place is a hostel so privacy is on a minimal level. The staff aims to please everyone as if you were staying at there homes.
Defiantly will return. Thanks to Franko, Matt, Paul, James, Mitch and that cool married couple. Don’t work so hard guys!

4^th of july 2014… me and gf stayed here for 1 night in a private room
First impression –Damn this place is like a frat house dudes pumping a keg being loud around the pool blasting music beer cups laying everywhere .1 drunk dude tried to sell me some bar hop tour. There was a crossdresser hanging outside the entrance drinking
The room was tiny with no tv. Just a bed and bathroom. The curtains were see through had to cover the windows with the blanket for privacy. Wifi didnt work in the room. Worst part was definetly the bed though It was Rock hard my back was killing me the next day.
The good. walking distance to fremont. informative receptionist at check in. secure parking. $ 40 a night for a holiday. quiet after 10pm.
All in all if youre a young frat dude in teens or 20s this might be a good cheap place to stay all others i wouldnt recommend

If you have any dignity, you will NOT stay here.
This is the most disgusting, hideous place I have ever stayed in my life. It is filthy and run down. Hostels are non-​profits and were created to promote comfortable travel accommodations for a reasonable price. Although it was cheap ($ 25 per night) this hostel seems to have extremely low standards of cleanliness or quality. I have stayed in Hostels in Phoenix and Salt Lake City. They were beautiful, and very much unlike this depressing, smelly and run down place.
The Guest Rooms: Old metal bunk beds, old linens and towels that the goodwill wouldn’t even accept. Each bed had a thin, old blanket. The one on my bed was stained with body fluids and I should have just left right then. Rooms are very barren. No pictures on the walls, no radio or clocks, just and old lamp with a broken switch. Some rooms have refrigerators. No microwave. The overhead fluorescent light was very dim. Walls in bathroom were peeling, moldy, and brown. The toilet and tub are old, rusty, and dirty. Some rooms have no windows and are smelly, dark and dingy.
.
The Common Areas: Not very clean. Looks like they were painted in 1980 and have not received any care since. Not air conditioned, which is RIDICULOUS in the summer time then the temperature are in the 100’s.
The Maid Service: What a joke! You will be lucky if the room is clean when you check in. You will not receive daily service, trust me. Towels and $ 1 to rent from the front desk.
The Internet: Very slow type and probably will not work in your room at all .The computer by the check in desk is very slow. It took me a half hour just to check my email because it kept freezing up. It is a good thing I had a car so I could drive to Starbucks and use their internet to look up other places to stay.
The Neighborhood: You are far from the strip! There is NOTHING near by that you will want to see. You do not want to have to walk amongst all the homeless, street walkers, police, drugs, and scorching sun. The «pizza» place next door looks disgusting. It is hot and dirty inside. You couldn’t pay me to eat there. The employees look equally dirty and unsanitary. The dumpster outside reeks of rotten smelly trash and food. You can lock your car in the gated area but you have to walk into the front desk for the key every time you want to go in or out.
Overall, it is a disgraceful place and in no way what a hostel should be. I was there two days and saw several groups of people arrive, check in, and check out immediately after seeing the conditions of the place.
To mislead travelers, especially foreigners, to think that this is a reliable, clean and safe place to stay is just wrong.

seriously don’t stay here if you can help it. I guess whoever owns this place hires people on a regular basis, people who are coming and going. Example: they will hire someone who is staying in the city for 2 weeks and in exchange they get free room and board. So these are the people who are in «charge» when you stay at this place. Not very experienced people.
So first of all their «gated parking» is indeed gated, but it’s the kind that you actually have to physically lock yourself… like pull open the gate and lock it every time you move your car. Which is better than no gated parking i guess because it’s pretty ghetto over there.
I saw hookers walking around with their tits out, got solicited for sex several times just trying to walk up to fremont (not wearing anything sexual at all), and also was asked repetitively if i wanted to buy crack… seriously.
This I could deal with… i kind of expected it actually, you are only paying $ 18 a night. But i didn’t expect for one of the hostel managers to beat the shit out of someone in the room above me at 3am, because he hadn’t payed his rent on time.
I listened to the hostel manager beat the crap out of someone for about an hour and a half before the cops showed up to take them both to jail. It was absolutely terrifying since it sounded like one of them was going to die.
I changed hotel rooms the next day… the golden nugget was only $ 45 a night, $ 25 bucks more than what i was paying to stay at that place. So if you can help it do not stay there, it’s dangerous and it really doesn’t cost too much more to stay at a best western or some other cheap place.
If you really can’t afford to go somewhere else, at least you’ve been warned.

When I moved to Las Vegas I had planned on crashing at the hostel while I found an apartment. This place was one of the most uncomfortable hostels I ever stayed it. The pool area is kinda cool in a desperate 3^rd world apocolyptic party kind of way, but the rest of the place is 3^rd world and apocolyptic without the party. Bad neighborhood, thin mattresses. You are better off spending the extra money staying anywhere else.

I have to agree with Elle T. WTF was I thinking?
These doucebags are smack dab in the middle of crack ville which they fail to mention on their website, of course and they WOULDN’[T LET ME IN WITHOUT A PASSPORT — screw them!
As much as I hate to admit this I was terrified being in this stink hole ‘hood with night approaching, so I walked in to the yes *gasp!* Western hotel and the rooms were actually NICER then the nasty casino area and it was private with my own bathroom. And cost $ 25.

WTF was I thinking?
I had many an opportunity to ask myself this during our 2-​night stay in this shitefest.
Some friends and I — most from overseas — were roadtripping it for a bit and decided on whim to pull into Vegas. Couldn’t find those $ 19 rooms of yore, as a convention was happening in Sin City and hotel prices were actually — well — like regular hotel prices. And nearly everyone was booked. Called around a day before or so and found this hostel to accommodate us all with a private room at 80USD a night. Sounded decent, and being the traveling-​backpacking-​not-​needing-​exceptional-​luxury-​when-​traveling sort we are, credit card numbers were given and off we went.
Got a bit leery as we pulled into the parking lot. It was so shady I didn’t want to park there, even though there was a gate with a padlock that apparently pulled shut. I wanted to stay with the car, afraid it would get stolen. It was 10am.
Inside, the jerkoff behind the counter was romancing the gaggle of foreign nitwits. «Uh…I love foreign accents» he cooed at the scantily-​clad 20-​somethings who ate it all up. Blah blah blah blah blah they carried on, as my friends and I waited in disbelief for him to begin doing what he was meant to: checking them in.
When it was finally our turn, we all came up to the counter and I pulled out my passport for checkin. «Uh…whoa. You can’t stay here. This place is for foreigners only» jerkoff asserted. I was livid. Nobody told me this when I made the reservation, I retorted. Oh no, everyone knows this — everyone is told this, jerkoff countered. So I asked him if it made much sense that in a group of friends partially consisting of US citizens, I would continue making a reservation knowing I couldn’t stay here.
In the midst of this debate, he mumbled something about foreigners and students. Luckily, I still had my (presently expired) college ID on hand. Well, you didn’t say you were a student, he exclaimed. I guess you can stay here. Well thank effing christ, because at that point I don’t know what we would’ve done with all of the Strip booked up, I thought.
So jerkoff carried on, telling us about the rules and amenities. And then tried to sell us on a fantabulous limo ride along the Strip at night, where everyone got like, really mad shit-​faced to the point where they wanted to puke. And then got into the limo and went to another bar. Like this was a selling point.
I started laughing at him, wondering how on earth this early 30-​something got by in life. And why drinking till you vomited in a limo with a bunch of obnoxious strangers would be any fun. I guess I must’ve be weird, because he looked at me, all offended, and asked what my problem was.
Had everything else not been full, had we had more time, had money been no consideration, had we been less ballsy — we never would have stayed here. But we did. And never will again.
Oh yeah, and the rooms were shit. I’ve stayed in many a hostel, and yes — it is possible to find clean, comfortable, inexpensive accommodation. But not here at usahostel.
