The pool was cold and barely used, and the place felt so lifeless that most of the people I met left early. I was also robbed three times during my stay, which left me feeling unsafe. When I asked for part of my money back through Booking and in person, they refused, so I paid for the full two weeks even though I left early. The hostel was dirty, and the welcome was awful. Nobody speaks English, so it was hard to communicate about anything. I needed internet to work and only discovered after booking that there was no WiFi. I ended up buying three SIM cards. Things were badly organized: the breakfast and bar seemed to open at random, perhaps once every three days. The cleaning staff would clear out the fridges and throw away food without warning, and guests weren't told how things worked. There was one mirror on each floor for around 26 people, with no proper lighting, so getting ready or shaving was difficult. There's also a cat in the hostel, which isn't mentioned anywhere, so people with allergies should be careful. This place was a huge disappointment and spoiled part of my trip. Just two streets away, I found a much better hostel with a friendly team, working WiFi, a good atmosphere, and a welcome drink. That mattered far more than a pool that was no use. If you still want to try this place, I'd book only a short stay first.
