Reasonable price, great location, and lots of delicious food nearby.

I think people who have stayed here before will want to stay again because the staff provides excellent service, they feel safe, and there are plenty of delicious food options nearby.

So let me preface this by saying that I've stayed at On The Bed Hostel probably 10 times over the last 3 years. I love the location, the price is great, the minimalist pod style beds are great but this last stay was the worst I've ever had there.

I was in my bed watching a movie on my phone and I kept feeling bites on my skin or getting itchy so at 1 a.m I turned the bed light on and I found 4-5 flea/tick style bugs in my pillowcase and another 5 or so of these bugs in my sheets. I was horrified knowing that they'd been crawling on me all night, and from then on, I couldn't sleep. This hostel needs to commit to the expense of shutting down for a few days and spraying all the dorm rooms for bugs and getting rid of this problem. A lot of the hostel's negative reviews are from bed bugs, so it needs to be resolved.
