My experience at this hostel was quite disappointing. We faced numerous issues with our accommodations, including being assigned already occupied rooms and receiving an unclean room after a long wait. While the breakfast was okay, there were also facilities that did not meet the expectations set by the website. The situation was not what I would call family-friendly, and I certainly won’t be returning.

Rooms

Upon arrival, we were given rooms that were already occupied, which was concerning for our safety. After a long wait, the room we moved to was filthy with trash and unmade beds.

Service

5.0

The service was lacking as there was no effort made by staff to accommodate our early arrival or to ensure our rooms were ready. Switching rooms took longer than expected.

The breakfast was okay, but the selection was quite limited. It didn’t match the expectations I had.

Facilities

5.0

The advertised family-friendly features were either closed or under construction, making it unsuitable for young children. Not what we were promised.

My stay started off on the wrong foot with payment issues, which felt like a complete scam. I ended up negotiating for a room that was only slightly better than dorm accommodations. However, I got lucky with a spacious private room that was fairly comfortable, making the experience somewhat redeeming despite the frustrations. Overall, I cannot say it felt worth the hassle or the money spent.

Rooms

The private room I ended up with was quite spacious, definitely better than the dorm option I was offered initially, but still not ideal for the price paid.

Service

Dealing with the staff was frustrating as they repeatedly got my reservation wrong and failed to offer correct solutions promptly.

My stay started off rocky with a mix-up at check-in where I was charged multiple times for things that were supposed to be included in my booking. The room I ended up with wasn't ideal as I expected more from a single room, but it was clean and relatively well-maintained. The location is a huge plus, with fantastic dining options nearby, and the breakfast was decent. Overall, while the price was attractive, the service left a lot to be desired.
