Downtown Forest Hostel & Camping

The main issue during my stay was the condition of the shared bathrooms. There was a noticeable fecal odor in the toilet areas, used toilet paper bins, and insects (flies/mosquitoes) present in both bathroom areas I checked. I informed the staff about the insects, but the response felt dismissive and there did not appear to be much urgency in addressing the issue. The dorm room and bed were acceptable, and I did not notice any signs of bedbugs. However, the bathroom conditions and lack of staff attentiveness significantly affected my overall impression of the hostel. I understand this is a budget hostel with shared facilities, but basic cleanliness and responsiveness from staff are important.

Honestly, not much. The location was okay, but that’s about it. We paid €54 expecting a private bathroom, but instead had to use dirty, smelly shared bathrooms that we couldn’t imagine showering in. The room itself was extremely small with no space for our luggage, and around the bed edges there were piles of dust and rubbish. The beds were uncomfortable, made me sweat all night, and we only later discovered reviews about bed bugs — which made us panic and check everything before sleeping. Our window faced outdoor toilets that squeaked and slammed all night, making it impossible to rest. Overall, the place felt unhygienic, cramped, and poorly maintained.

Cozy atmosphere Bedbugs :(

Nothing Bedbugs in room 209. I had many bites this morning. It was already mentioned in a review in December. Do something!

I WAS BITTEN BY BEDBUGS And hostel didn’t even offer me refund So I payed money for 3 hours sleep and bad mood for next days Btw: staff is nice

Great staff I was bitten by bed bugs and my neighbor in room also . They even didn’t offer me refund for this

location There were bedbugs in my room and I was bitten all over the body. Unhelfull sfaff force me to move out Transparent courtins in bathroom, so people in the steet can look inside. Rooms were cold.

Lokalizacja oraz wystrój. Bedbugs! Czyli pluskwy w łóżku gryzące niemiłosiernie :( zamieszczam zdjęcia ugryzień na przedramieniu oraz dłoni lecz jest ich więcej w innych częściach ciała. Okropność!

I stayed 3 nights during January so it was a bit slow. Wonderful place and convenient to Old Town, restaurants and a Rimi store 3 minutes away. The room doesn’t have a locker to secure your luggage/backpack. They do provide a security locker with deposit. There isn’t any privacy curtain but it did have a lamp. The room was just a bit cold but the rest of the building was cozy. I did get bit by bedbugs. Overall I enjoyed my stay and the staff was nice and helpful. I would return.
