Jedi Hub Hostel

Everything was perfect very nice apartment top quality and good people

It looks new, squeaky clean and above all, no shoes inside policy!

- The pictures shown on here are somewhat misleading and confusing. I was expecting it’s a large hostel from the ground floor but apparently, it’s just a small room apartment on the first floor. The gate doesn’t show where the entrance is. - The bed for some reason didn’t include a thicker blanket. It was around 9 Celcius at night and I was shivering throughout the whole night. Thankfully it is only just one time.

Very clean flat Pods ok with blind, light and electricity plug + nice smelling sheets Not overcrowded dorm (max 3 people during my stay) Bathroom ok, possibility to use washing machine Clean, decent place if you just need a bed to crash and don't mind heavy road noise all day and night.

Several things are not as advertised. This is not a backpacker hostel, perhaps it was 5 years ago, but now it seems to be more of a long term stay place. No physical reception, and definitely not 24/7 : just a guy on WhatsApp who doesn't speak english, and has very poor hospitality skills. No lockers : they "have lost all the keys" and apparently cannot be bothered to change the lockers to new ones with locks. No welcome and no showing around the place : you are just directed to one flat with a 6 beds dorm, a living room/kitchen and a bathroom. You give your cash payment to a long term guest roomate. You are not shown around to a common area, a garden, a terrasse etc like in the pictures. BUT other long term guests (very rude and entitled nonetheless), have access/the key to your flat and can come in and out to use the bathroom. One rudely explained to me that the front door of the flat should stay open during the day. So basically anybody, even from the street (no locked building door) can potentially come into the flat where you leave your things with no locker. Cutlery is on demand. No AC : the flat is airy but the pods get hot at night (no airflow) Heavy road noise all day and all night long (need window open because no AC) So again, if you don't mind those things it is a decent place to stay, clean etc, but if you are looking for a friendly modern backpacker hostel like in the pictures and description , you might be disapointed. It's a shame to have nice facilities like this and make it such a poor hospitality experience for short term guests.

Location is very good, near the intercitybus stops and a few minutes away from the cool city center. The capsule structure is as depicted in the pictures, which conferes a lot of privacy, with individual light and outlet and a curtain, and a comfortable matress. The common area is spacious, with kitchen, 1 WC/bath for six beds and a balcony. There is a sweet cat around. There is a private key for the hostel.

The reception does not work 24/24 which may complicate a bit the communication and entry times (even though it was possible to communicate through the booking app with the owner, which gave flexibility). At the moment, the AC is not working in the room. There are lockers but they are unusable at the moment (easy thing to solve that would increase the feeling of safety a lot). The street around has lots of traffic with some noise.

I had a terrible experience at Jedi Hub Hostel. I arrived around 9:45 pm, only to find the reception closed with no one around. I eventually found a staff member who told me they only accept cash payments. When I asked if I could pay in the morning, he refused and said I had to pay cash now. As I was about to leave to get cash, he mentioned he was leaving for the night and I would not be able to check in at all. Despite the booking page stating that checkin is 'available 24 hours', I was effectively left on the streets at 10 pm. He suggested some other hostels, which I tried, but they were all fully booked. I ended up having to find accommodation 30 minutes away, far from the centre of Limassol, at very short notice. This was a deeply unpleasant experience, and the staff’s attitude was unhelpful and unprofessional. Avoid this hostel if you want reliable and safe accommodation.

I didn't end up staying. I booked this hostel last minute because my other plans had fallen through due to my flight being delayed. The hostel advert stated that they offer 24 hour check-in and a 24 hour front desk. I booked the night stay just before my delayed flight took off, I landed at 0100 in the morning to find a message from the hostel stating they don't do check in after 2200, unless late check in is booked in advance and a fee applies! They also require a printed reservation, which I am surprised about as it is difficultfor travellers to print if they are already on their trip when booking. None of this is mentioned on their advert. I tried contacting their 24 hour desk and they didn't answer. I ended up having to sleep in my car as a solo female traveller, because I couldn't book anywhere else at that time in the morning. Jedi, you should make this clear on your advert that check-in is only until 2200 unless special times are booked in advance.
