Aekkeko Hostel

This hostel is nothing like the photos. It feels abandoned, unsocial and it is clear there is no maintenance of the hostel, as everything felt ‘unfinished’. The rooms smell damp, the bed was very uncomfortable, the sheets were very itchy and I was worried about bed bugs. The hostel also didn’t feel clean, rubbish from previous guests were left in the room. The toilets being on the bottom floor and the rooms being at the top also is slightly annoying. Staff were not that friendly or attentive

BEDBUGS. What angers me is the fact that they knew about it and still accepted guests without rectifying the situation first. There are reviews about bedbugs from months ago. I felt itchy all night and could barely sleep. In the morning they were taking all the mattresses out while there were still guests in the room. We were all checking out and they could’ve simply waited till we were gone. Very unprofessional. I think they were trying to treat the mattresses instead of replacing them. I had placed my tote bag on the bed and I found one bedbug inside. I’m mortified at the fact that I could have potentially carried it with me to the next hostel. Even without the bedbugs I was already dissatisfied. The place is not as neat and aesthetic as the pictures. It’s worn out and messy. The toilets/showers is downstairs and the rooms upstairs. There are too many mosquitoes. I got 5 bites while checking in and 6 bites while brushing my teeth. The common area is too hot. THIS HOSTEL NEEDS TO SHUTDOWN until they completely get rid of the bedbugs. Not only are they affecting the guests but potentially other hostels as well. Please be a decent human being.

Haben ein Upgrade in ein privat Zimmer bekommen ohne mehr zu zahlen. Hatten eigentlich einen gemischten Schlafsaal gebucht. Im Zimmer waren Bettwanzen. Daraufhin sind wir direkt ausgezogen und haben sofort das Geld zurück erstattet bekommen. Es schien so wie wenn der Rezeptionist Bescheid wusste. Auf Nachfrage ob das öfters vorkommt meinte er nur dass er das nicht weiß.

Don’t book this hostel, it’s full of bedbugs. Overall, the hostel is quite dirty. The owners are friendly though, but don’t really care about the bedbug infestation.
