Due to a few issues going on in my life, I was left with nowhere to live so I settled on a backpackers hostel. The Grand isn't too bad, although, I do have a few issues with it. The place is neat enough, with a few exceptions (mainly the kitchen.) They only offer the bare minimum, with only a few electric frying pans and a few filthy microwaves to cook with. The toilets and showers seem to have been renovated recently, which is good. However, my main problem happened when I told them I would need to leave for two weeks, then I would like to book back in. I asked if I should book a room in advance for when I got back, they told me it would be ok and that there would be plenty of rooms available. So when I called up to book back in, they told me there was nothing available and that I would have to book into a shared room. Must say, I am not happy. If I had a choice, I would not be going back.

Approximate cost: $155 per week
