“Disappointing”
+The hostel is in a very good area, close to the palaces, cultural villages and right beside a metro line. The area is quiet, safe and immaculately clean. The free breakfast is good (toast eggs sausages cereals juices etc)
−I don’t normally write reviews, let alone bad ones, but don’t feel like the reviews on booking are representative of our stay here, and really wouldn’t feel comfortable here as a solo female traveller. The rooms are absolutely tiny (beds one person width across from each other). there are signs to leave your luggage in the hallway outside your room (no security) because of lack of space. Not all the beds have curtains, and they are at head height, which is very awkward in such a tiny room. Our group were in 2 rooms, and neither of the bathrooms were cleaned across the 5 days we were there. The kitchen is awkwardly small at breakfast time and the owner is very particular about you using his kitchen (how plates should be stacked on the drying rack, where food should be placed on the table, told my sister she must have a dirty house because she left bubbles on a plate). We also accidentally came down early for breakfast and he huffed and puffed about us being there. Lastly, when other ladies we met here left a truthful review the owner emailed them a nasty email with hateful comments. Maybe he will do the same to me! It truely does not feel like he wants you in his home, and if I was

+This was the second time I was staying in this hostel and again I was very satisfied. The location is just perfect and the price is very adequate to the conditions in the hostel.

“Disappointing, including response from host”
+Good location. The host provides a free breakfast.. Includes coffee, toast, sausages, eggs, fruit and yoghurt. There is also a fridge where you can buy drinks (including beer) at prices cheaper than the local convenience store..just put the money in the honesty tin. Although the bedroom was cramped, there was room under the beds to store our bags. Good A/C and WiFi
−We arrived an hour before 3pm, but there was no one around (except the cat) and we couldn't even store our luggage before check-in. We were on the third floor. Getting used to no lift on this trip, but the rickety banister on the upper staircase didn't give me a lot of confidence carrying my bag up the stairs. Further up (by more a ladder than stairs) is the "sun terrace" and self service washing machine (be sure to turn off the tap after doing the washing, as the water leaks all over the floor). The bathroom had black mould and a horrible smell which seemed to be coming from the drains. The top cover on the bed was made of an itchy synthetic material which was very uncomfortable. Message from owner after review: "I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd be embarrassed by your stupidity and the fact that the washing machine on the roof leaked because of you. I'm happy that I won't be meeting horrible old ladies like you any time soon."
