  1. Booking/trust Hostelworld

    Listen the hostel was fine. But we were overcharged £160, along with multiple others at the hostel who were overcharged more or less. The owner is a slimey b****** who was only able to return half of the money owed to myself and multiple others. I’ve never had a hostel do this before. I’m now going to have to claim a ‘scam’ with my bank and hopefully get my money back. Don’t go it’s not worth the hassle.

  2. Booking/trust Hostelworld

    My overall stay was okay-ish. I encountered a few problems. The first was that they overcharged my on my creditcard. The communication was a bit hard, depending on the person because some staff couldn't really speak English and they had to ask their boss that wasn't on the premises. In the end I got some money back but not all of it even though I communicated clearly the amount. The womens showers were gross, hair ev…

  3. Violence/harassment Booking.com

    Location is great. During our stay a staff member got caught taking pictures of the girls in the female shower room. The staff’s response to the situation was not respectful and made people feel more unsafe. So to the women; keep an eye out and be safe if you choose to stay here. Also a lot of the services mentioned don’t actually exist (airport shuttle, laundry).

  4. Theft/security Hostelworld

    🚨 Alert 🚨 Staff member took photos of the woman’s in and outside the showers. They denied everything and two days later, the staff member was already there again. Everyone in the hostel knew it, but they also deleted the massages in the groupchat, so tried to hide it.

  5. Violence/harassment Hostelworld

    girls were filmed while showering. the owner denied all of it. he claimed he checked the cameras but there are none in the bathroom, or are there??? Weird place. The location was great and the girl at the front desk was the sweetest. but I left earlier I couldn‘t stay there anymore and didn‘t feel comfortable. the owner (the guy) was really agressive

  6. Violence/harassment Hostelworld

    Unfortunately my time here was rather negative. There occurred an incident with a male staff member filming girls through the window of the women’s shower room, and the entire staff and even the hostel owner denied the allegations and left the victims helpless and traumatized. Staff deleted all messages about the incident from the hostel WhatsApp chat, too. I did not feel safe in the hostel and left as soon as possib…

  7. Violence/harassment Hostelworld

    A member of staff was caught filming women in the female shower space.

  8. Violence/harassment Hostelworld

    Upon a rival staff were unfriendly, it was freezing at night - when I asked for another blank they said they did not have any. Showers were terrible and breakfast unsatisfactory. It is very noisy at night due to bars beneath. While I was there a male staff member was caught filming 2 young women while they showered. The Hostel has denied any wrong doing and nothing was found in their "internal investigation". Would n…

  9. Violence/harassment Hostelworld

    During my stay, a woman was filmed in the ladies shower room while taking a shower by a staff member. The owner later accused her of lying and threatend her with the police. This is not how you treat a victim. Do not go there.

  10. Theft/security Hostelworld

    despite the high reviews this hostel is not worth staying in, the staff members are quite rude and there occurred an incident with the male staff members taking photos of female guests showering and changing save your time and money and book somewhere else 😌

  11. Booking/trust Hostelworld

    DO NOT STAY. Owner is a thief and lier. Overcharged and refused to pay back thedifference. Say they hace laundry and they don't. Weird entry situation (just get keys...) and cold showers.

  12. Violence/harassment Hostelworld

    I stayed here twice as a solo female traveler. the first time a female guest warned me that one of the male employees was caught filming her kissing another girl she had met in the hostel. Because I liked the location and vibe of the guests I returned a few weeks later. This same employee was caught filming women in the WOMENS ONLY SHOWER. He deleted our messages in the Whatsapp chat warning the other guests. If you…

  13. Theft/security Booking.com

    - Great location - Nice and bright co-working space - Good social space with a tv that can be used - This hostel has a lot of (unmet) potential - Despite all of the issues, I managed to have an OK time here - I heard from other guests that they will reduce rates in exchange for a high review - The owner has a dog that roams freely (this is fine but should be stated for those who are scared of dogs) (sidenote that the…

  14. Violence/harassment Booking.com

    The cleaning ladies were sweet and always kind to me. I also thought the people staying at the hostel were nice too. The location was great. The man who checked me in was incredibly rude and creepy. Really inappropriate behavior..he messaged me on WhatsApp separately from the group chat with the other visitors and was trying to get me to go out with him for drinks. He made my stay feel really uncomfortable along with…

  15. Theft/security Hostelworld

    Not ready to open. This hostel is in a great location, but the hostels systems are not up to scratch. They kept double booking beds and telling people they needed to found accommodation elsewhere at last minute. The security was also quite poor and relied on waiting outside until a doorman saw you and would just let you in with no verification

  16. Theft/security Hostelworld

    I wouldn’t recommend staying at this hostel. The place is still half a building site with workers coming in and out, dirty rags all over the floors, building supplies stacked up in the kitchen and a layer of sawdust on top of the lockers and even in my bunk. Some of the lockers didn’t have locks & the rooms didn’t have keys so anyone could enter. The intercom also doesn’t work so I had to wait for someone to leave in…
