This HI reception barista charged me 5$ to check my bag. This is disgraceful. I am a lifetime member for decades and have never heard of bag charges being levied even in Europe. I want my money back.

This was the best hostel for this price I have ever seen! Especially considering that it is so close to the beach and pier. The last hostel I went to at this price was basically a homeless shelter.
