Reviews
I stayed at this hostel and had a negative experience. The staff upon arrival were unfriendly and unwelcoming, which made the environment uncomfortable. The rooms were mediocrely clean.
Upon departure, I realized I had forgotten my phone in my room. When I informed the staff they stated it had not been found by the cleaners but their negligence to clean properly had my phone overlooked. Once it was located inside my room I immediately provided my full mailing address and contact details for its return. Despite multiple follow-ups, I received none to minimal communication or urgency from there team.
On September 24th, I was informed the safe containing my phone had allegedly been broken into and the phone stolen. This is absolutely unacceptable. Not only did the hostel fail to act promptly when first informed of the lost phone, but its continued negligence directly resulted in the theft of my property.
My phone, valued at approximately $1,300, contained sensitive personal information that can never be recovered and has compromised my safety. This situation represents a serious breach of trust and accountability on their part.
Receptionists: very polite, kind, friendly, and trying their best to assist.
The room had a noticeable unpleasant smell upon arrival, which made the stay uncomfortable. Furthermore, the light in our room was broken and constantly flickering, which was very distracting and should have been fixed before we checked in.
The breakfast offering was very disappointing for the price. It was a very basic spread, consisting of just one type of cheese and one cold cut. They did not offer any hot options like eggs. It felt insufficient, especially for a large hostel.
Finally, the most frustrating part was the lack of a free luggage storage room. Instead, guests are required to pay to rent a locker to store their bags after checking out. This is an unexpected and frankly unwelcoming policy that I haven't encountered at many other hostels.
Overall, I would only recommend this hostel if the price is significantly lower than competitors, as the core amenities and basic comfort (smell, flickering light) were subpar.
The clerking light near the lockers in my room diff not work, but was fixed after I reported it. They have the hand soap dispenser inconveniently placed inside the shower stall instead of near the wash basin in room 416. There was no place to keep soap and toiletries inside the shower stall.
The ceiling windows were good as they let in lots of light.
