The Walrus Hostel

Bitten all over by bed bugs

I stayed one night and they have a really nice free breakfast with Vegan milk even for the cereal which I really appreciated a lot and are very centrally located. Private showers were very nice too and the German shepherd dog at reception is adorable! Staff was also kind and friendly, helping me store my stuff until check in. There is quite a nice chill area in the main pub/reception area with board games, lounge space, etc. Unfortunately, I have to state the not-so-great here too... The train noise is extremely loud all night; the breaks shriek pretty much constantly so if you're a light sleeper you simply won't enjoy it here. I didn't really care about that and I did hear that the train stops at midnight although I heard it after that. Perhaps it stops at some point but idk because I fell asleep. I slept fine but it's kind of hot in the rooms and the fan was broken so we had to have the windows open (which didn't really help with the train noise). I also kept feeling as if something was biting me almost as soon as I got into bed and sure enough tiny welts appeared on my hand, and suddenly I had about 10 all over my ankle. I searched my bed but didn't see anything so I thought maybe I had walked through a spider nest or something and didn't notice so I just went to sleep. The next day my whole leg was covered in bites and I think it must have been this hostel because I stayed at the same place for two weeks before and didn't have anything until coming here. Pretty disappointing because this is the first time in over a year of traveling I've ever gotten bitten by bed bugs :(

Perfect location, but bedbugs exist! kind staff.
