My traveling companion and I were very disappointed in our stay at the Ashfield Hostel - so much so, that we checked out 4 days early to stay at another location. The staff was respectful, but neither of us felt comfortable walking in or out of the hostel at night. I had gone down to receive a food delivery we had ordered, and several highly intoxicated men attending the SoHo club next door tried getting too close to me. All throughout the night until 4:30am we could hear people screaming, bottles shattering, and incessant intoxicated singing. While observing out our window, I also witnessed people indulging in severely illegal *****. The room itself was not great either. The bathroom in particular was very disappointing. I am not a large person, but I could barely turn 360 degrees in the shower - I could barely clean myself. Also, as soon as you turned on the shower head, the shower was so small, the water instantly sprayed the entirety of the floor below it, leaving it completely soaked which required us to acquire more towels, which we had to pay for. This hostel was also advertised to have laundry units, which it did not.
