Reviews for Route 66 Hostel
Review 1：The place is rundown, and in need of repairs. The rooms and baths are very small. The pillow was like a tortilla. The staircase is treacherous. There's very little space for folks to congregate, and no communal TV. The staff wasn't very knowledgeable about the city, and there isn't much info provided about buses or sites of interest. Decided to leave early, but staff couldn't tell me if I would be reimbursed.
Review 2：The location is close to Amtrak, Greyhound and the local bus center but it's in a rundown neighborhood.
Review 3：Cleanliness was a major problem.
Review 4：As all hostels, I enjoyed having 24-hour access to the kitchen. The local laundry mat and grocery store within easy walking distance. This hostel also had free wifi.
Review 5：The parking can be a bit difficult. There is a small parking lot in the back but it seems to fill up quickly. Had to park on the other side of the street for one night.
Review 6：The staff was very friendly and happy to assist with questions.
Review 7：The beds' mattresses were pretty flimsy, but this is a minor complaint. I slept like a stone.
Review 8：I was very surprised by the generosity of the communal kitchen. The staff provide some communal food (eggs, cereal, pasta meals, pots, pans, milk, etc) for use by guests. It was really nice after a long camping trip to be able to make myself a home-cooked dinner and breakfast without worrying about going to the grocery and wasting food or spending on eating out. I was impressed by the staff and guests... it felt like a traveler's salon, a place to be together while on many separate journeys.
Review 9：Many! No after hours arrangement for check-in. No AC. Too hot inside even with the fan (onky 1 in the room). Bed is shaky. Unclean washroom with hidden light switch.
Review 10：Staff: very kind and helpful; location
Review 11：The receptionists are not very friendly when you ask questions. When asked about times of the bus in front of the hostel, one receptionist just responded: "You know you can google that" in a not so friendly way. Of course everybody can, assuming they have laptop or iphones or whatever. What if not. Just rude.
Review 12：The old european style ambience.
Review 13：Your employee Jules prepared a marvelous eggs/potatoes Sunday breakfast for us--very generously & t'was darn tasty too!! thank you Your Hostel was 1 of 3 total that I stayed at--as yours was most popular due to the Balloon Fest (no dorm bunks availb @ 10/11)--thus I remained in S/Fe. Sadly my bunk mate/on bottom sorned throughout the night--nothing to do with you! She woke me 3-4x's during 2 nights--thus I yelled to awake her, quieting her somewhat, temporarily. My ear plugs/ radio/ melotinin worked w/limits. Your staff is pleasant & professional, again thanks much!

Review 31：Well located between Downtown (as in transport centre) and Old Town on Route 66. You can walk or carch a bus to see bits of ABQ.
Review 32：Bad mattresses; not sure $20 is a good value in dorm --crammed in asmall room with 5 strangers; some staff members unfriendly bordering onsurly; parking limited; must be somewhat extroverted to stay here;problem with reservation on arrival
Review 33：Location on Central good; staff member Tom nice; other guestsinteresting; clean; cereal and tea available; home-y; not sure therewere cheaper options in abq
Review 34：There was something going on with some of the guests and the managementand also the employees.There seemed to be a lot of problems and unrest.When I came in they did not explain breakfast and food only cleaning.Bathrooms had caulk on tub and shower bottoms and looked dirty. I was onthe downstairs floor upstairs seemed to be cleaner and in bettercondition. It was not being in Abq. I know this because I lived therefor 6 yrs previously.I Had recently stayed in 2 other hostels and thisdefinitely had the most problems weather it was staff or general overallcondition.
Review 35：I liked the locaion access to the bus was close, there was a coffee shopclose by and also old town and downtown. I really loved the front porch.One of the other guests showed me her room upstairs as we werediscussing the overall cleanliness and design and it looked great. Alsoan employee named Zee gave me some info on the coffe shop and otherlocal things the next morning after I arrived and was very pleasant andcurteous and helpful to everyone.
Review 36：they sadly had no AC and only for few days laundryfacilities (but 100m away is a fast and cheap laundryroom).
Review 37：the staff is excellent especially tom is very helpful. Eggs and cornflakes are for free and the porch is a good place to hang out
Review 38：Silly procedure of having you enter a secret code in the side door when you enter after hours. Why not just use keys?
Review 39：The price was right and the vibes were mellow.
Review 40：It is a great communal atmosphere, everyone is friendly and the place is homey. The spartan rooms provide the necessities without the luxury extras. This is a great value if you don't care about having a TV, hotel shampoo and things like that.
