Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Left after 1 night of a 3 night stay in a dorm. Mold in the bathroom. Beds shook wildly with any slight movement at all. The pillows had large stains and the blanket didn’t smell cleaned.
I’ve stayed at hostels in dorms all over the world, and this one had the most inconsiderate guests ever. French people talking on their phones loudly all through the night.
The reviews on this place made me book, but they are terribly inaccurate.
