I have been around the world many times, I have never seen such a deplorable place such as this one
An extremely rude and fake two-faced woman will check you in….
If you can avoid her there’s a really nice guy that works there also.

If I could give negative stars to this Hostel I would. I have traveled around the world seven times and I have NEVER seen such a deplorable and EXPENSIVE HOSTEL LIKE THIS ONE.
THERE IS NO AIR-CON.. It looks like it used to be a warehouse as there are poured concrete walls. With Horrible incandescent lighting it’s difficult to navigate you way around.
NO outlets to charge your phone except for one near the window… for FIVE people to share.
Beds are VERY uncomfortable as the are just mattresses on METAL frames!! No joke I could make this s*^t up!
NO TOWELS (unless you pay €4)
NO SOAP, NO shampoo…
The showers are like being in jail…. The water doesn’t stay on unless you constantly push the nozzle. The shower stalls are covered in mold and everything looks like you’re in some type of institution.
If you are a group of 2-4 people just split a hotel or find some other accommodation because this place literally is “Motel Hell”.
I am writing this review within less than an hour of checking in as I am not in that hostile and I don’t want to spend any more time than I need to in there.

Location was very good. Near with many attraction places. Near with metro. Ony the room is a bit old. No heater, toilet a bit dirty

The hostel is in the city centre and close to the shopping street which is both good and bad. It’s close to a food market so I can eat the delicious food everyday but it’s also noisy at night. In addition, the room only has two electrical outlets which is not enough for four ppl and there is no small lights for each bed. Although the room has an individual bathroom, it’s located outside the room which is quite inconvenient.

Toilet and bathroom are shared.
There are separate rooms for men and women, but I was a little worried because there were times when men would enter the women's room. Other than that it's great.
The location is great, especially since it's just a short walk from the main tourist spots!
