Utopia Hostel

Super clean, cool Cat, next to the bakery / Coffee.

The host and popo the cat are very nice, friendly and helpful

Usually I’m not the biggest review writer, but for Utopia Hostel, I’ll gladly make an exception. I stayed at utopia because of a festival called pasiwali that the owner also visited in the evening. It quickly became a very inappropriate situation when the owner decided to text me on WhatsApp, asking me that he wanted to buy me a drink and that he rather wanted to ‘wait for me to come back’, that being the hostel. I didn’t respond at that moment because I was shocked that he would use my private number for something like that. A few hours later, however, at 2 am, his messages got more extreme, and he asked me if he ‘needs to spend money on me’. You can guess for yourself what he means by that.   Because of this, I want to warn every woman who is thinking of staying at this hostel. This experience cast a shadow over what should’ve been a care free festival weekend. Luckily, my friends offered me to stay at their hostel the next day, because I didn’t feel safe anymore. They waited for me outside while I quickly packed my bags. Overal an experience I wouldn’t want to wish on any other traveler!

It felt like I was being a guest in someone’s house but they weren’t that happy that I was there. There’s a cat that stays in the entrance area and it smells a bit. The owner lives in the hostel.

Helpful staff, clean and comfortable. Close to convenience stores and bus stops
