Staff friendly and helpful.
Unaware of shared bathrooms.
Poor lighting in room, stained sheets and tv remote didn’t work.
Not ideal for families, fine for young budget conscious travellers.
Poor hostel! The room wasn't the one in the picture! The bathroom is shared and only one toilet! The shared shower doesn't have a lock!
The reception is closed and they demanded I return before midnight! Cinderella style. Turned out they had a key but gave it to more important guests.
Encontramos manchas en las sabanas y cojines, ducha sucia y un sostén (que no era mío) bajo la cama.
Recepción bastante bien solo que había que pedir una llave para salir en la noche y había que pedirla día a día (la última noche no pudimos salir ya que a las 9,40 queríamos pedir la llave y la recepcionista no estaba.
Una de ellas me dijo que si podía dejar mi equipaje en custodia hasta las 8-9 aprox pero la de la mañana tuvo una actitud medio pesada y me dijo “sólo puedo tener tus cosas hasta las 4”.
(Adjunto fotos de manchas y del sostén misterioso)
