It’s hostel review time! I will share details of my experience as a solo-traveller in early 30s who stayed for 3 nights in 6-beds dorm room. Location: 6/10 Technically, it’s close to the main train station which is the good thing. Bad thing was, as stated by other travellers and the Hostel itself, is being in the Red Light District. Now, Is it sad, sketchy and offensive? Yes. Was it dangerous? No, It was safe enough, wasn’t approached by anyone. Yet my two cents here is always check the latest reviews about how safe the area is at the time. Room: 9/10 The room is spacious with beside your head sockets, or so close ones if you’re on upper bed. Mattress is comfy, pillow is passable, found a couple of bed bugs though which was annoying. Baggage locker is huge and fit for my bags. No A/C, to my luck weather was nice at night so opening the window was enough. It’s important to get an adapter for the sockets if you’re from outside of Europe and a lock. Bathroom: 10/10 It was clean all the time, shower was amazing. Hot and cold water all the time. Staff: 6/10 Now we start to go with the worse part of the hostel. On one side, staff were informative and answered all my questions, on the other hand they had the “OBVIOUSLY” attitude. Of course not all of them, there was a guy that was really nice and respectful on duty last night, but the other four were not. Social: 0/10 Please hear me out. Top reason that I stopped staying at hotels and started staying at hostels instead is the social part. You know, meeting other travellers, sharing trip plans and if you’re luck you would get going together if there are similarities in your plans. Well, it’s not the case here, at all. They mention having billiards and DVDs, but as mentioned by others, staff are not helping, effort is nada, null, invisible. Events were none existent. On the contrary actually, staff group alone and contact no guest. It was sad for that, I heard the same note coming from other guests too. Extra points: +1 Having coffee/tea all the time is definitely good. Also having free homemade dinner was a nice touch too. There was at least one of the staff behind the desk, can assure you that. Security was good to enter and inside the hostel. Verdict: 7/10 As a summary, the hostel stands behind their word about having a comfortable stay sleep. Location is beneficial and neighbourhood is scarring experience ( depending on where you’re coming from ). So if you’re looking for a place to lay your, this place is a decent choice. If you want the “Hostel” experience here, sorry, it’s like searching for water in the desert.
