As HI USA member, I booked hostel. Paid deposit. But due to Covid-19 I didn't stay in hostel. I tried to cancel early, but HI did not refund deposit.

The building is very old, and could use a lot of updating, especially with removing the old carpet throughout the building. The first room I stayed in had peeling paint and some pipes were broken. The staff was already aware of the problem, but there were drain flies in my first room. Thankfully after speaking with the staff they told me they've been working on the problem and switched me to a new room. It would have been nice to have been given a heads up that this was an ongoing issue.
