1. Access/security Hostelworld 3 years ago

   Food was stolen from the fridge on multiple occasions. The only security is a weak passcode on the front door, there are no door keys and only timy lockers which were unavailable on our first night. This poor security meant homeless people would enter and sleep on the sofa at night. It does not feel safe and there are no staff to monitor this. The owner did not reply to emails. Do not stay here.

   Definitely wrong choice . Our things stolen and anyone called us for sorry , they said """ its often happening here""" . It's a place where thieves hide and the facility makes it seem normal. Everywhere is filthy, the toilets and showers are filthy. The kitchen is filthy. Our money was wasted.

   I enjoyed people cooking in the kitchen. Bucharest doesn't have great restaurants at the budget end. Clean. One or two strange local guests and the spectre of gang that won't show itself, but not from staff. Theft of my food in the fridge. Romanians lived with betrayal under dictators for too long and the legacy means they don't offer information. The hostel is honest.

   Yiiiiiiikes do NOT go to this hostel. Where to start? There are blood stains on the mattresses, and one member of the group we stayed with found pubes aswell. The hostel is unsanitary overall, there were dead flies in the window too. The cherry on top was the horrendous amount of bedbugs that were found in two of the rooms our group booked. When we told the staff about this we were told that 'we had brought the bedbu

   Positives: location, price Negatives: - usually dirty common areas - my bed was damaged and dangerous to sleep on - and the most important thing: one day the owner came, opened my locker with his key and left it like that! With all my belongings there!

   We stayed here in a big group of 12 last week. First impression of the hostel was good. Bathrooms are clean and room was decent (half the beds were on the floor though) However we encountered some experiences that are just not okay. In one of the rooms of 6 females, it was just the 6 of us in the room. We didn’t expect anyone else to enter. In the middle of the night a male staff member came into our locked room to l

   Staff was nice. Location is good. Price is good. Beds are comfortable. But the kitchen is very dirty, bathroom is not very clean either. Not a very "social" hostel. And someone stole my food from the fridge not once, but twice, and the staff/manager did nothing about if. That's a shame.

   Hostel was ok but had an interesting vibe. Seemed to be all run by volunteers so I had experiences with other guests that went against normal hostel expectations. Many things were stolen from shared spaces, nothing very expensive but anything left out seemed to disappear and staff didn’t seem to think anything of it. Other guests had this problem too. The fridge had rotten things in it and leaking juices everywhere.
