Packs or luggage won't fit in lockers. They don't have any measures to check who enters the hostel or the rooms. Left luggage storage is just a shelf in an open room in the hostel, so anyone can come in and take it if they want it.

Although there were lockers, none of them actually locked (even with a padlock) and some items were taken from my bag.

Did not like the lockdown, nor the wake up call that began at 9am.

This was a very nice hostel. The room got a little hot at night, but it was in a good location at a good price! Don't forget towels or soap!

one thing we didnt like about this hostel was the fact that in order to lock our room we had to go down to the main desk ask for the key go back up to lock our door and then return it back to the main office. then when we came back we had to ask for the key again go unlock our door and then return the key back to the main office. the other thing we didn't like was that this hostel had a 2am curfew. the main door would be locked until 6am if you didnt make it back in time. other than that florence was awesome to party in even on a weekday.

The hostel supposedly has someone at the front desk at all times, but I walked past that desk numerous times without seeing anyone there. There also is no check in whenever anyone enters, resulting in homeless people entering the hostel to use the fascilities (including sleeping on empty beds in the large dorm rooms. I am dead serious. This happened the second night I was there!).
