This was honestly my least favorite hostel, and I got a private room. First of all, I get there after hiking through the airport all day, and walking up and down hills, up and down stairs, last minute gate changes etc. I get to the front desk (It’s after 3PM mind you) and they handed me a BEEPER. Like it was a Chili’s or an Applebees, and asked me to wait with my heavy bags…. So I look up on Google, why would I have to wait at a yellowsquare? And Google said, likely because the rooms weren’t ready. So that kind of upset me, because I’m paying for this space… and now I don’t get it for the full amount of time that I paid for. They call other people up and I’m seeing them get physically shown to their room, and she was showing them the spaces and explaining things. Finally, my BEEPER 🙄 goes off, and I just get a key and told to find the stairs myself, which I had to come back up the stairs and ask reception again, because her instructions were not clear, it looked like I was going into a different hotel. The room was sterile (in decor, definitely not cleanliness), lifeless, and no color. It literally looked like prison. The bed, HARD AS A ROCK, and I’m someone that could sleep anywhere. The bathroom smelled so bad, I had to keep the door shut, it smelled like gasses were coming up from the pipes or something, it was not normal. I couldn’t even get ready in there. There were also these little bugs in bathroom that came in and out of the flooring. My window in my room was nice, considering the air/heat thing wouldn’t put any cool air out. Even on the fan setting, it blew warm air… to the point it was stuffy and hot. ALTHOUGH the window would not shut properly or lock, which was a safety concern. Did I think someone was going to shimmy up the pipes? No, but, also you never know 🤷🏻♀️ An animal maybe? The location was okay, close to where I needed it to be. The only person that was nice was the guy at the end when I was checking out. Overall, it was fine for a couple nights, but not my favorite.
