10 Apr 2013 Jungmin, South Korea
I will never use the hi hostel washington. Several staffs' atritude was really bad-in particular, Mxxxxxxx. The elevator did not work for 10 minutes, which made me late for my train. Mattress seemed old and floor squeaked.
Hostel response:
Jungmin, I am sorry that you had such a bad time. Thanks for letting us know about your issue with our staff member. We will look into exactly why she came across as rude. Our elevator is slow, but it means well. Thank you for making us aware of your mattress troubles. The most important thing when staying away from home is that you sleep well. This is definitely and area that we will improve. I hope you'll come back despite your last stay and see how we have improved. Safe travels, Christina -
