I went there with my friends and it was incredibly fun spending my time with them. Not to mention that some of the staff (especially a nice lady) were nice and someone put my blue hat on a couch, otherwise it would have been lost (thanks). Our room also had an en-suite bathroom, including a shower (with hot water) and a wc. Wifi has password but it is free on your phone. The radiators kept (some) common rooms very warm.
And...that's basically it.
Now, into the problems.
1) My room (210) had a window open. I asked the reception to close it and I gave them the number. They DID NOT close it, saying that they should have climbed on someone's bed. What happened was that I got a cold. So thanks a million reception guys for NOT listening to my complaint. I am sorry but that was very unprofessional and low of you.
2) The beds were comfortable to a certain degree. The person (not revealing their gender) in the upper bed was killing me at 3 am because they couldn't stop moving and that hurt my body a lot. The bathroom was stinky and the shower uncomfortable to use. No space to hang up your new clothes, you had to put them in the sink and they were already a bit dirty and wet after the shower. Annoying.
3) Some guys around the hostels were creepy and unkempt, like they have been there for ages. Sadly, a guy in my room (he was our age) was doing creepy things on the computer so I didn't go straight to bed on my second (and last) night, but I stayed on the couch downstairs, hugging my bag. I was too tired to go out that night, which would have been my place had I not be too tired.
4) Bathroom door couldn't be locked so I caught the creepy guy sitting on the toilet. Ugh.
5) One common toilet had a huge cr@p which wasn't flushed down. I didn't sit on common toilets not even once.
6) Breakfast was so poor, especially for those who are lactose intolerant.
7) Old furniture, old couches, filthy kitchen.
8) Badge card was difficult to use at times (just a minor complaint though).
Overall, if it weren't for my friends, I would have felt extremely unsafe. Not a place for girls, women or old ladies!
Lol.
