Dingy Place, Not For Travelers

They posted old pictures of the property. This place is rundown & dirty not "boutique" (just like its sister property, Green HomeStay). Beware...the house manager of Boutique Homestay is very slow to respond when you need to check in & he'll have you waiting outside the property for a long time. This place also has a security guard, who is as discourteous as the manager. Many of the people staying there are homeless locals.

Do not come here!!!

Management were very rude and I couldn’t get ahold of anyone. The phone number and address listed are incorrect. The check in instructions are posted on the back door for anyone as confused as I was booking this place. The people are somewhat friendly but would be careful as a woman. All the rooms are Co-ed.

Homeless shelter not a hostel

I arrived a bit early and was told I couldn’t sit outside the property and needed to come back, which felt very condescending. Although I was only there for a few days, I encountered several issues: 1. No toiletries available 2. No plates or cups 3. No TV 4. No lounge area 5. Bathrooms were consistently dirty 6. Poor communication from management The dormitories are overcrowded, with six people sharing a space that has no room for luggage. The beds squeak, and some guests sleep during the day as if it were their permanent home. Overall, it didn’t feel like a welcoming hostel experience—there was no coffee, tea, or music, just a strange atmosphere with people watching you on the cameras, especially the tattooed white trans guy, who was particularly off-putting.
