"Disgusting"

2.0

Good location, cheap

This is not a hostel for travelers, it’s full of long-term residents. The first thing I noticed upon walking into the dorm was the smell, a mixture of dirty clothes and body odor, like a room that hasn’t been properly ventilated in weeks. The few tables in the room were full of half-eaten food and empty water bottles, it was clear from the beginning that people basically are living there (and living like slobs). It’s a very small place and the bathroom and shower are accessed via the kitchen, and with no room to change in the shower it means you must walk through the kitchen in your towel to get to the shower. There was an obese man eating his meal in nothing but his boxers. The kitchen is right outside the door to the dorm and every time someone entered or left the dorm they left the door open so it was always very loud with people talking, cooking, doing laundry, and watching videos on their phones. There was even a child staying there, so late into the night I had to listen to a child’s loud giggling and other noises. Trash overflowing, dirty dishes left everywhere, and mold in the bathroom and in the corners of the dorm room. Make sure you read all the bad reviews, because after staying here the good ones sound fake or like they were written by bots or friends of the owners. It’s worth paying €5 more to stay in a decent place. This place was disgusting. I’ve stayed in hostels all over the world and this is by far the worst.

administrator Ferit is a cheerful and wonderful person.

It would be better if the hostel was a little bigger.

Very nice place to stay for a bargain price. Towels are supplied, which is always a plus with hostels, and a good central location with flexible check in.
