😠 No signs and its hard to find, smelly building, receptionist and the manager do not speak English. Filthy bathroom. The room had glass doors overlooking the central dining area. It was hot as hell and very noisy. I was asked upon arrival to pay for the room, and I asked for a receipt, but the recept... People often mention room,

    No signs and its hard to find, smelly building, receptionist and the manager do not speak English. Filthy bathroom. The room had glass doors overlooking the central dining area. It was hot as hell and very noisy. I was asked upon arrival to pay for the room, and I asked for a receipt, but the receptionist wouldn't give me one, saying he cant do it because he is just a receptionist and only manager can do that. I asked to talk to the manager over the phone, and he either pretended or actually didn't know a word of english. I eventually gave up, saying I would pay in the morning when they can give me the receipt, but the receptionist insisted it had to be immediately. In the morning a random person just came inside our room while we were getting ready to check out, without saying anything, introducing themselves or whatever, and just gave me a handwritten pieces of paper as a receipt, then left again without a word. Thank God we stayed there just one night.

    DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOSTEL! We booked and paid in full for a private room 2 months before arrival. We confirmed the day before and rang on the morning of reservation being told it was all good. But this was a complete lie. When we arrived we could not check in, we asked if there was an issue with the room and the reply was no. We were told to walk with them to another location. The room they tried to give us was actually oppupied by someone else and their belongings. But they let themselves in. They showed us a small single mattress on the ground in beyond terrible conditions. We said this is not what we booked and not what we had paid for. They shrugged their shoulders, didn't apologize and never actually told us they double booked our room

    The hostel is well-located, warm and very cheap but: - kitchen and bathroom with shower (only one available) are dirty and in very poor condition - little cockroaches are walking here and there - stuff doesn't speak English and is (or at least behaves like) drunk on occasions - if you are not lucky you may get a connecting room (which means other guests will be walking through it all the time) - no reception desk, lack of communication with stuff, no security system - friend's luggage was stolen from the "lobby" To sum up: if you are looking for adventures and want to pay as little as possible, that might be just fine for you. Otherwise I recommend to pay a bit more and look for something else.

    This hostel should be closed by a hygienist. Seriously. Bedbugs in one of the rooms, a lots of them. Had to disinsect all my belongings twice after leaving the place. A family of cockroaches living in the bathroom. Mattresses old and super smelly, same goes for pillows and blankets. The last day of the visit somebody tried to break in, breaking the glass on the door close to the door handle. Owner speaks no English, very unpleasant person, we found her drunk as hell not being able to walk through the door. Friend of mine got his luggage stolen on the first day, leaving it in front of the door of his room - inside of the hostel which was at that time occupied only by our group of close friends - the owner kept coming in with strangers during our stay, witnessed it several times That was an experience worth of a Hollywood movie. Stay away from this dirt hole.

    After the horse stable I slept in Australia this is by no means the worst place I've been for accomodation....Even if you don't have deep pockets it is worth to spend a bit more and go to a cleaner place...

    Totally dirty with bugs in bathroom. Old building. Only good thing is the WiFi.

    Disorganised, no signposting Dirty bathroom, grotty kitchen Rooms are slightly better, bedding was clean. Obliging receptionist, hence the 2 stars. Not a great experience.

    Horrible. We shared our room with disrepectful peoples, making noise and switching on the light during we splet. We also have had a Guy Who has vomited on the room During our stay, the receptionnist used our stuff, first time I saw it on my life. Furthemore the staff dont speak english at all. Other points : - Its dirty - You cant cook because there are no - hotplate or oven. - Bed are not comfortable

    Hostel stinks like a homeless person, it has no signs and there is no one at the reception. Trying to find it and somehow check-in has last me 30 minutes. Terrible!
