I had a terrible experience in this hostel. During the day, they searched our things without permission, they left our belongings lying around and, worst of all, they stole a charger from us. In addition, they opened our laptop and tore our backpack, which we had locked with padlocks because there were no lockers. We had to go to the airport with a nylon bag, since they did not offer us any solution. They did not show us the security cameras, nor did we receive answers or compensation for what happened. We felt unsafe and without any support from the staff. An unrepeatable and completely unpleasant stay.

They are scammers!They charged us for two reservations by mistake, assuring us that they would pay it later. Two months later I am still waiting for my money back, tired of waiting I have given it up for lost!VERY BAD ATTENTION TO YOUR CUSTOMERS! I won't be back!

They're scammers! We regret booking with them. We called well in advance to cancel the reservation, and the hostel worker's response was clear: 'No problem! When you arrive, you can cancel, and it will be fully refunded.' We had a reservation for 3 people (360€) that couldn't be canceled, and we had to keep the two reservations (360€ + 600€). During our stay, we were told the manager would arrive the next day, and we could resolve it with him. When the manager arrived, he told us he couldn't do anything and that his boss would provide an answer. No one has given us a solution, and we have been scammed. They're scammers!

Our experience was horrible. We had problems with the reservation and they forced us to pay 300 euros more to stay there. They told us that they would refund our money, but a month has passed and the manager does not respond to our emails, nor does he respond to the booking application itself. He is an unpresentable and very incompetent manager. I do not recommend anyone to stay at this hostel. Small rooms, with tiny beds, dirty sheets and bad smell. In addition, the rooms do not have any space to leave your belongings.

The service was very attentive and the location was perfect. There are lots of shops around the corner and you're basically in the middle of it all. Sure, the rooms are a bit older and the beds really take some getting used to, but in hostels you don't usually stay in the room for that long anyway... We felt comfortable!

After 00:00 the price is higher than it was before. Considering that we arrived without a reservation at 00:02 minutes. This was our last money, and the proposed price no longer corresponded to our budget, the administrator did not even bat an eye. They only accept cash. We decided to spend the night on the street, it would be better than in this shithole.
