Good location, good staff, bad hostel guests”

I don't know what this hostel used to be, but it seems like there are many migrant workers live there. Most of them don't understand English so it would be a problem to communicate with them about the problem of noise or their belonging. However, fairly speaking, I can feel that the hostel staff tried to prevent them from influencing the other visitors. Pour les francophones, si vous avez regardé le film "La Faute à Voltaire", je devine que la situation de cette auberge de jeunesse est pareille que laquelle où le protagoniste habite.

I swear that this was a terrible experience for staying there for one night!( I’ve booked for two nights but I’ve left after one night staying!) Solo traveller!! Especially girl! PLEASE DONT GO TO THERE! The place is fulled of MALE worker! You can’t imagine that I’m staying there alone (in a room full of men) for one night! And when I was taking bath, there was someone who kept trying to open my door! Please don’t go! Don’t just choose it because of its cheap price! You can choose AVENUE HOSTEL!

Dangerous and Thieves stay at this location. STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS!”

On the first day of my stay, I literally almost got into a fight with one of the long-termers/workers in the room and the staff was there to watch and did nothing about it instead of kicking him out just because my backpack was in a place where this guy didn't want it (it wasn't even in his way and he just wanted to start issues). This hostel houses a huge group of Romani locals who all know each other and team-up to make the lives of travelers who stay here miserable. When one of the couples first came into the room, they played this loud music and even left without even caring about whether it affects me or not. I also noticed some expensive clothing missing from my backpack after walking around the city. After they came back, another guy entered into the room who wanted to fight me right away outside because my backpack was apparently in a wrong spot. I would never stay again here even if you could pay me! Do yourself a favor and skip this hostel for it isn't suitable at all!

Homeless long-term complex”

There are no travelers to this hostel. Cheap long-term accommodation for homeless people. Old people make a nasty smell and watch tv all day in the kitchen. The room smells dirty and can not be ventilated. All of the ten-person rooms are male workers. Female travelers are at risk. Just do not go.

overall, guests i met here were the worst ever. dont know whether they stayed here long so they make themselves at home but it seems so. guests dont know how to respect others. turning the lights on to find his own stuff when others are sleeping at night. dont know how to keep their mouth shut neither on corridor nor in room. Worst thing, staffs do nothing about that. funny thing is that when i heard someone singing at the corridor, i found out it was the staff. someone smoking in the bathroom too of course

Genuinely the worst hostel I have ever stayed at in my life. I have never felt so unsafe in my life.”

Would not recommend to any females travelling Solo. I had three nights booked but checked out after 1 night. The male staff are insanely creepy, they sit in the dining area drinking all day. Not to mention there are no locks on the doors so the barge into your room without knocking to ask you ridiculous question. Worst experience ever.
