Honestly, worst hostel I've been to (quite some). Rooms super dark & shabby, toilets disgusting, no lockers, common spaces a bare minimum. WiFi doesn't really work. But the worst of all: the staff. They don't care at all. Where can I buy water? Do you know a good restaurant? Always "no"... Also, when I arrived late at night, the lady didn't open the door until I would pay a rip-off taxi driver. I was clearly cheated on, should pay 10x the in advance agreed price and seeked for help. "no"...

Servicio pésimo e instalaciones nefastas. El baño no tenía tapa, no había papel, no salía casi agua de la llave, no había cisterna y había que meter la mano en el agua para tirar de ella. Las sábanas picaban y un borracho no paró de gritar en toda la noche. Servicio deplorable al igual que el alojamiento. 0 recomendado

Translated to English

The bathroom had no lid, no paper, almost no water came out of the key, there was no cistern and you had to put your hand in the water to pull it out. The sheets were pecking and a drunkard kept screaming all night. Service was deplorable as was the accommodation. 0 recommended

MALA la experiencia. La hoja de reserva dice que debes pagar en moneda nacional pero la anfitriona se negó a recibir el pago en pesos cubanos y exigio pago en dólar. Nunca se proporcionó papel higiénico, ni jabón para los trastes o fregar, al preguntar a la anfitriona dijo que eso NO lo dan (pero el anuncio dice que si). No dan sábanas o cobijas, tuve que pedirla al 2do día de estancia. La cocina que es de uso común PÉSIMA presentación tiene (oxidada), no había prácticamente utensil...

An old, run down, broken and dirty slum located a 10 min walk from the centre. My room was damp, toilet was dirty with lots of mold everywhere, shower head full of dirt and disgusting, no toilet paper or soap, no ventilation. Beds were very old, uncomfortable. The floor was really dirty, my feet were black from walking in my room. Common areas dirty. Wifi only 4 hours a day. No lock on your door, no locker to keep valuables. Only security cameras for safety… Positives: air condition, the peopl...

Das Zimmer scheint auf dem ersten Blick sauber und relativ ordentlich. Man kann auch nicht genau schauen, nach einer sehr anstrengenden, langen Reise. Zudem Ersatz findet man so schnell nicht. Auf dem zweiten Blick sehe ich: Die Dusche hat kein Warmwasser. Toilettenpapier und Seine gab es auf Anfrage, Das Zimmer hat weder Fenster noch irgend einer Öffnung nach Außen. Die Tür ist dem Lerm der Straße ausgesetzt, und unmittelbar vor dem Haus liegt ein Berg vom Müll

Translated to English

The room seems at first glance clean and relatively tidy. You can't even look closely, after a very strenuous, long journey. Moreover, you can't find a replacement so quickly. At the second glance I see: The shower has no hot water. Toilet paper and Seine were on request, The room has no window or any opening to the outside. The door is exposed to the noise of the street, and directly in front of the house lies a Berg vom Müll

the hygienic standards were terrible. it started with having no toilet paper or soap for washing hands at all in the entire house to like having mold in the shower. also several spiders or other insects were not removed properly and were everywhere (shower, bed, ...) and the ac was really loud. Normally, even if someone has paid me to stay there for a night I would have said no. But silvia, the host, was really nice and helpful.

I have no idea how the rating is so high. Now reading the reviews with the worst ratings - all true. Bathroom in horrible condition, dorms not in any way how they are described, mattress felt extremely bad and the air is moldy and damp.
