The staff was so arrogant and couldn’t care less about what they were doing. And i found bed bugs!!!! The type of people I met are just party people which is not my type and the decor it was just too much. it was also very noisy in the room and the AC was not working. A terrible experience to say the least

Péssimo. Banheiro sujo e sem privacidade, qualquer um entra porque a recepção fica no quarto andar e não há controle. Tomadas com mau contato, percevejos na cama — acordei cheia de picadas. O rooftop tem festas abertas ao público todas as noites, os corredores ficam cheios de gente bêbada. Me senti insegura, fui perseguida por um homem que nem era hóspede. Não recomendo, queria ter ido embora no mesmo dia.

No es un lugar limpio, hay olor a inodoro en todo el piso, las duchas están llenas de agua en el piso y la habitación de 6 es muy pequeña y con cortinas que lo hacen super caliente, además no cuentan con aire acondicionado y lo peor es que hay chinches en las camas. Es preferible pagar 5€ por algo propiamente habitable.

Vibe Analysis
Marco Polo Hostel sits in a very central spot in St. Julian's, close to the bus station, the harbor, supermarkets, and the nightlife strip. The rooftop bar and terrace give it a loud, social feel, and the free day tours make it easy to get out during the day. The building feels old and worn, with rooms that can get hot and stuffy in summer. Air conditioning may only run at night or on request, so daytime heat can be a problem. Noise from the bar, the street, and late-night activity can carry into the rooms. Some rooms have curtains around the beds, but the beds, lockers, doors, and shower fixtures can be temperamental. Shared bathrooms and the kitchen can feel cramped, and the place can be messy in spots. It works best for someone who wants a lively base and does not mind rough edges.
