- Extremely poor experience. I was asked to leave the hostel abruptly, without a clear explanation and without being given any meaningful opportunity to respond. The decision appeared arbitrary and was handled without transparency or basic procedural fairness. Staff conduct was unacceptable. Communication was minimal, dismissive, and at times openly rude. There was no attempt to de-escalate the situation or manage it in a calm and professional manner. The behavior of the security staff was particularly concerning. The approach was unnecessarily forceful and intimidating, creating an environment that felt uncomfortable rather than safe. Overall, this reflects a serious lack of professionalism, poor conflict management, and inadequate respect for guests. The way situations are handled here raises significant concerns about standards and accountability. I would not recommend this hostel to anyone expecting fair treatment, clear communication, or a respectful environment.

+ The hostel is well located and has been renovated, with modern toilets.

- The doors are making a lot of noise when closed. It would be good to put a rubber in the door frames to reduce the noise.
