    E pieno di Cimici da letto, le ho anche viste e ho dei morsi sul viso e sulla schiena, ho avuto una reazione allergica.

  2. Confirmed Booking.com

    There were bedbugs which I did notify staff of- they said it was some other bug, but I woke up the next day to red marks on my body.

  3. Confirmed Booking.com

    I couldn't get sleep during night. because bitten by bedbugs and disordered other guests. shower booth.uncomfortable bed.

  4. Confirmed Booking.com

    I have to wait 2hr for check in as the time was mentioned in booking.com was 12pm but they allowed me to check in at 3pm. They said they forgot to correct it. The vending machines aren't working inside with card or app. There's no grocery store nearby so it's better to keep some snacks or food. I heard there's bedbugs as well so it's better to be careful.

    Il mio incubo si è realizzato quando ho deciso di soggiornare in questo ostello. Oltre al fatto che la pulizia è sempre pessima, non è garantita nemmeno la sicurezza. Una notte abbiamo dovuto chiamare la polizia perché c’era un signore che ha deciso di bussare alle porte in modo insistente,rompendo il muro. Inoltre ha deciso di suonare il pianoforte tutta la notte disturbando la quiete. In tutto questo nessun responsabile dell’ostello era reperibile, sia di giorno che di notte. Quando sono arrivata mi hanno garantito che nessuno avrebbe rubato il cibo dal frigo, era un’immensa bugia!!!!! Ho speso 26 euro di spesa che sono stati usufruiti da un altro signore. Quest’ultimo ha deciso di assaggiare tutto senza finire nessun piatto!!! Per finire in bellezza, le ultime due notti sono stata punta dalle cimici da letto che mi hanno riempita di bolle, provocandomi un forte prurito. Ovviamente ho parlato di questo problema ma nessuno mi ha saputo aiutare.

Vibe Analysis

Pavia Ostello is a bare-bones budget option in Pavia, better treated as a last-simple-bed choice than a social hostel. Its strongest practical upside is location for certain plans: the Ticino river path, nearby green space, bus links, parking, and a few nearby food options can make it workable if the price is the main calculation. There are flashes of decent basics: friendly staff interactions, lockers or cupboards in some rooms, warm blankets, a large common area, and occasional good beds or showers. The setup can suit a short, low-expectation stop, especially for someone arriving with backup food, patience, and a tolerance for rough edges. The rough edges are not small. Cleanliness, mold, broken bathrooms, weak heating, cramped or unstable bunks, poor kitchen equipment, absent reception, confusing check-in, insects, noise, and safety worries all appear as real risks. This is not the move for a polished hostel vibe, reliable sleep, or a fun backpacker scene.
