Hostel Memel

I was very disappointed and left early. I had to call the manager to come over, about a five-minute drive away, and check me in because nobody was at reception. There was no sign that clearly showed I was in the right place, just a small one against a window. The lobby smelled of wet dog, and the rooms, around 20-25 m² for 10 beds, had a persistent smell of alcohol. The bedding was worn out, with unidentified stains on the mattresses and pillows falling apart. I wouldn't call this a hostel, more like a poor-quality dormitory. At 1 a.m. I had to ask the completely drunk tenants next door to quiet down and switch off the lights. The rooms are separated by a glass partition. Before leaving, I had to call the manager again to check out. I've stayed at another hostel in this city that cost less and had 24-hour service, free tea or coffee, a pleasant building, and a lively but quiet atmosphere that was good for resting. I don't recommend this place.

A good base for exploring the city, with bunk beds and a kitchen. It's an affordable hostel in the city center, run by a friendly owner, and a nice place to unwind after sightseeing.
