Booked
for
4
nights,
stayed
for
2
only
and
had
to
run
away
at
11
pm
on
the
third
night
due
to
BED
BUGS!
Hostel
has
a
great
mingling
culture,
and
heaps
of
programs
for
travellers
throughout
the
week.
They
also
offer
free
dinner
every
night
where
you
get
to
cook
together
and
get
to
know
others.
Location
is
very
convenient
and
close
to
many
attractions
too.
But
that
stops
there.
It
has
a
serious
case
of
bed
bug
infestation
and
the
manager
knows
it
too,
however
they
tend
to
keep
the
rooms
open
and
cover
this
with
parties
and
food.
The
bites
started
on
my
legs
and
ankles
from
the
second
day
but
I
didn’t
think
too
much
about
it
thinking
it’s
mosquitoes.
However
at
the
night
of
the
third
day
while
laying
on
the
bed
I
saw
a
bed
bug
crawling
right
there!!!
I
caught
it
alive
in
a
napkin,
and
immediately
told
a
staff
who
said
he
doesn’t
know
about
it
or
what
to
do,
and
that
manager
is
on
her
way.
Manager
wasn’t
surprised
to
see
the
bedbug,
and
said
there
was
a
case
3
weeks
ago
and
they
closed
the
room
and
did
a
full
cleaning.
Asked
if
they
did
anything
about
mattresses
and
she
said
no
they
put
new
sheets
on
the
mattresses.
They
are
not
experts
and
thought
that
would
be
enough,
and
the
bedbugs
could
come
from
the
walls?!
I
said
it’s
common
knowledge
bedbugs
lay
eggs
in
mattress
and
how
as
a
hostel
manager
she
doesn’t
know
it?!
I
then
said
I
cant
sleep
there
anymore
and
need
to
be
moved
to
their
other
hostel.
She
said
it’s
full
but
she
may
be
able
to
move
me
upstairs
in
another
room.
Asked
if
they
ever
had
bedbug
issues
there
and
she
said
yes!!
So
the
hostel
is
booking
out
the
rooms
knowing
this
issue
exists!!
They
eventually
refunded
us
for
the
full
stay,
washed
the
clothes
we
thought
may
have
had
touched
the
mattress.
We
had
to
book
another
accommodation
last
minute
in
Barcelona
which
was
a
headache
itself
as
everywhere
was
booked
out
and
the
manager
was
pushing
us
towards
booking
places
with
low
and
bad
reviews.
We
eventually
moved
to
the
new
place
at
midnight!
It
was
a
huge
inconvenience
and
nightmare,
the
bite
marks
increased
and
I
am
now
seriously
worried
about
the
rest
of
my
luggage.
So
if
you
care
about
the
hygiene,
AVOID!!
