My booking is 3 persons room. But change it to a 8 person's room, with much noise from street and closing door voices. Totally double standard. Worst hostel ever

Claire

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Upon arrival we were told the number of our room but not where it was or where any of the facilities were. There is a very unpleasant smell throughout the hostel and it feels very tired and uncared for. Our room had curtains that didn’t fit the window, stains on the carpet and no suitable storage. It’s by a main road which cars drive very loudly and very fast past the hostel at all hours of the night. It is the worst hostel we’ve stayed in throughout our 5 months of travelling.
