Hightown Hostel

Having travelled for 2 months around Europe, I have certainly learnt to not expect too much from hostels but even I was disappointed. No aircon for a box room with 6 people in, the only night I didn’t feel like I was going to suffocate was when we left the door open and the main door open onto the road as well, this didn’t feel safe and lead to a lot of noise. unstable and unsafe bunk beds that felt like they were going to fall over every time someone breathed. The bathroom was barely cleaned apart from some bleach in the toilet. The kitchen was vile and had very little cutlery. People were moving to other hostels just to get away. Staff were rude and not helpful at all. There are so many things wrong with the hostel I cannot list them all. I don’t often leave reviews but this place is well and truly deserving of one

Terrible hostel : very little bedroom for 4 persons, no lock at the bathroom, litterally no ladder to go up the bed bunk, and only 3 power plugs in total for 4 persons. Also, a "service fee" of 22% (only specified in the very little lines) is charged and includes the reception 24/24 and the cleaning.. but the cleaning is not really done because the room and the kitchen are properly disgusting. The worst hostel I've been to.

Fiquei em um quarto privado com banheiro. Quarto pequeno e sem local para pendurar ou guardar roupa, mas nada que fosse um problema. O quarto e banheiro estavam limpos. Fiquei hospedada no inverno e a entrada do quarto era diferente da entrada da recepção, sempre que eu precisava ir até a recepção, usar microondas ou pegar um café era necessário sair na rua. A cozinha ficava no mesmo prédio do quarto, no andar de cima, ambiente também muito simples. Não é o hostel com a melhor das estruturas e realmente é só para dormir, no entanto fiquei satisfeita porque atendia as minhas necessidades. O local fica a cerca de 10/15 minutos caminhando até a estação de metrô mais próxima. Há restaurantes e farmácia bem próximos ao hostel, mercados a cerca de 10 minutos caminhando.
