    Cette hostel est horrible. Le monsieur qui s’occupe de l’hostel fume à l’intérieur et y vit. Sa chambre se trouve juste à côté de celle des filles et y entre plusieurs fois autant dans la journée que dans la nuit sans prévenir. Nos valises étaient placées à l’extérieur de la chambre et dans des sacs plastiques pour « éviter les insectes ». Je suis partie avant la fin de mon séjour parce que je me suis retrouvée avec des piqûres de punaises de lit. Eau chaude dans une seule douche et moisissures.

    Think I got bed bugs here, I’m not usually one to write reviews but if cleanliness is at all a priority I would forgo this spot. It normally doesn’t bother me but staying here for 2 days ruined a whole week of my trip.

  3. Confirmed Hostelworld

    The place in general is horrible. Already on the first night my friend and I saw bed bugs. The bathrooms were VERY DIRTY and in one shower it took maybe 5 minutes to get hot water. It smelled really bad because the owner smokes inside. The overall atmosphere there was oppressive. We didn't feel safe there.

    in 22 giorni di permanenza non ho visto insetti striscianti di sorta, solo qualche zanzara ma vi sfido a lamentarvi con Franz (ha pure le piastrine e i diffusori se glieli chiedete). è un ostello della gioventù, non un hotel! l'atmosfera è giustissima, se sei una persona responsabile ed educata Franz ti porta in palmo di mano. consigliato. / no bedbugs of sort. some mosquitoes but Franz has repellents. It's a hostel, not hotel. good vibes, Franz Is incredibile. 10/10, suggested.

    Personally didn’t technically have issues at this hostel but the overall vibes and cleanliness are just not great, can see a lot of things going bad in the area with absolutely zero security owners a bit strange about bed bugs personally didn’t encounter any thankfully but the building definitely has had them. VERY dirty and I’m not a fussy person, also owners and long term guests smoke inside which didn’t particularly bother me but the smell was pretty bad.

    Upon arrival, it smelled like cigarettes and looked unclean. The check-in was in the hosts bedroom. Franz (the host) was nice, but the property was very odd. I was asked to put my suitcase in a large plastic bag in case of “animals”, which I later found out to mean bed bugs. On the second night, the girls in my room did find bed bugs on the two bottom bunks. Only one bathroom had hot water and you couldn’t even flush ANYTHING down the toilet. Would not recommend.

    As a 6 foot 2 18 year old male, who for the most part feels extremely safe, this had a weird atmosphere from the get go. When I arrived I was forced to put my bag inside a plastic bin bags "to protect it from animals" (owner was very on edge whilst explaining this) which I learnt to be bed bugs. I stayed only an hour at this hostel, before rebooking at another hostel in Bari. That's how little I enjoyed the cleanliness and lack of a welcoming atmosphere. Then I used the dryer at 80°c on the clothes I was w

    As a solo female traveller, this felt incredibly unsafe ans sketchy. No locks on the doors, nothing to store the luggage and the owners request to put plastic bags over the luggage because of bed bugs. The owner smokes (and apparently also lives) inside the hostel, so it smelled like smoke. To go out you have to request a key for the buildings front door and give it back on return.

    I now have bed bugs! We had to pack our luggage in plastic bags and store it in a separate room and were not allowed to take it to our rooms. Despite this, I still ended up with bed bugs. It smells of smoke everywhere and checking in after 10 p.m. costs extra.

    This place must be closed. Same vibe as Clyde Hostel. BEDBUGS, Homeless people around. CLOSE IT!

    Owner will make you put your bags in plastic and store them in a different room to stop bed bugs. Doesn’t seem to be working, however. On top of that, he’s incredibly uncomfortable to be around and we caught him entering our room during the night. Would strongly advise against staying here.

    Staff are characteristic and interesting. Check in at 6?, is abit mental for a hostel. Facilities were clean and adequate. I did get bitten by bed bugs so theres a cleanliness issue there. But its a 20€ hostel. The cheapest around by far. For the two nights I spent there, I feel as though that was more than enough!

    If you like to live in a terror film, i recomend this terrible place very Dirty and with very bad energy. The owner They force you to put your backpack in plastic bags because of "the insects you can bring from outside" and my 2 roommates were bitten by 2 bed bugs.

    The hostel was dirty, I tried to cook and had to rewash all the dishes. I got a drink and left it in the fridge, it was drank from the next day. The hostel owner is strangely political and has very questionable views that he tells you about. He warned of bed bugs previously and then after we left I saw someone comment that they got bed bugs(luckily we didn't). You should shut down a hostel because of that. There was absolutely no privacy and I don't think that the owner should be able host.

    Hostal en condiciones malas, los baños sucisimos, las bañeras tenian manchas del paleotico por lo menos, chinches en los colchones y el dueño como excusa dice que lo traemos en las maletas y nos manda meterlas en bolsa de basura, desordenado, sin intimidad ya que el dueño entra y sale cuando quiere de las habitaciones, es una mala eleccion, la gente cuando llega fse queda asustado. No lo recomiendo en absoluto.

    We wanted to sleep at the Hostel for two nights but decided to leave after one. At the Check-in the owner of the Hostel told us the only man he could stand behind was Putin which already left us confused. When we came back in the evening there was pure chaos! Beds were given to multiple people because the Host had no clue about who already checked in etc. My friend an I ended up sharing a bed! The only option left. Also another person was complaining about bed bugs! We even booked a woman’s dorm and he ca

    We arrived to find both the building and apartment unlocked. A half-dressed man, not the host, showed us around while the host, was asleep. When he woke up, he took our money, made odd remarks, and talked about his hallucinations. The apartment was filthy—cold showers, no sheets, and left with bed bug bites. We were two women placed in a men’s room even though we paid for a mixed. Overall, unsafe, dirty, and uncomfortable
