Really wanted to love and support this hostel but my experience was extremely disappointing. ||||Booked because we had to find somewhere to stay over a holiday weekend, and this was the most “affordable” place at 50+€||ightly. ||||Dorms were a horrible experience, mostly older men or young kids who talked full volume on the phone in the middle of the night, switched all the lights on, even came right over to my corner bunk and began eating, talking, watching films without headphones, turning on the lights, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT (eg. 3:30 am). ||||The receptionist was extremely unfriendly, the only people who said hello or smiled were one or two staff in the restaurant. ||||The kitchen was actually disturbing, so so filthy, the fridge smelt of mold and rotting, next to no utensils for cooking. ||||Then to top it off, when I checked in, I paid by card. The receptionist quickly grabbed the receipt and said it didn’t go through (strange, but it was so late at night and I was exhausted I trusted their humanity), so made me retry. This receipt I received and upon checking my bank statements later, I realized I was charged twice. (+400$ CAD) I reached out through email with all the receipts and very politely, to which they responded vaguely with my “invoice” that didn’t show the double charge. I responded, gave bank screenshots, etc. and they said they would forward to their superior as they “don’t see the charge” on their end. That was the last I heard from them, several days later still no response. Disgusted to say the least at the scam of this establishment. ||||Makes me feel like the whole charitable, non-profit aspect is simple a guise for marketing. Impressive scheme if so. ||||Do not stay here.
