THE GOOD: The only good thing about this place is the location. THE BAD: The room key they give you allows you to open every single room. They’re all the same. Ask me how I know. I found a bedbug crawling on my bed. Also, no AC with a small dingy fan and little airflow. Yes you get what you pay for. It is a cheap hostel, but this is not worth it even at that. Unfortunate.

There were bedbugs.

L'emplacement est bien J'ai été piqué dès que je me suis couchée dans le lit. En 30 minutes 15 piqûres. Je suis allée dormir dans l'autre lit simple avec mon conjoint. Punaises de lit? Je ne sais pas. Ce soir j'ai des cloques énormes et vais devoir voir un médecin. Literie et draps propres mais le reste très limite.

Unfortunately there were bedbugs. I got very bad bites on my legs and arms and they are still itchy now. Please be careful with bedbugs because they are really nasty especially for who is allergic like me!

Dat ik mijn tweede nacht kon annuleren en daar mijn geld voor terug kreeg. Het was oud en vies. Er waren bedbugs. Mijn hele lijf onder de bulten. Het was te warm. En het ergste was het lawaai. Keiharde muziek tot 3.00 am. En om 7.00 am begonnen de werklui op het plein. Nauwelijks geslapen.

¡HABÍA CHINCHES! Nos picaron por todo el cuerpo.

La ubicación. Super céntrico. La habitación tenía chinches y nos picaron por todo el cuerpo (más de 30 picotazos). La habitación era bastante cutre: tenía una cama y un mini pasillo, pero básicamente a estas alturas tendrían que fumigar. Mala experiencia. Todavía nos pica el cuerpo.

BED BUGS ALL OVER THIS HOSTEL! The owner was rude when we checked in and at night when I was sitting on the bed there were bed bugs crawling all over the walls and the bed. The owner did not care. We showed her the bugs and she just reached over and squished one of the bugs on the wall and told us that this is normal. They have fumigated but this is just how it is. We had to leave in the middle of the night. The mattresses did not have covers on them so there was no protection from the bed bugs and they already knew they had a massive infestation. DO NOT STAY THERE!! I ended up getting several bites on my right arm and leg that was next to the wall after only being in the room for 2 hours with all the lights on.

Location was fine Cracked shower glass, mould on ceiling in bathroom, room was a bunk bed & single bed unlike images, very small, lights hanging of the walls, stains on floor, cleanliness wasn’t up to par, bed bugs, due to be there for 2 nights but left after one , wouldn’t recommend, reception felt uninviting

L’emplacement est dans le centre touristique L’hôtel est infesté de punaises de lit 🪳🪳⚠️⚠️ Les propriétaires savent qu’il y a un problème de punaises depuis plusieurs années, mais rien n’est fait. Nous avons du partir vers un autre hôtel, avec un remboursement partiel.

Warning!!! Bed buggs!!! When informed of the bed buggs the staff seemed desperate and did clearly not know how to handel the parasites. Staff was friendly. Booking.com made a mistake and our booking came in as 1 person instead of 2 adults one child. They could fix this without hassle. However the bed was only slightly bigger in the double room. A lot of stairs, small rooms. Great location. Low price. No bed buggs.

Os pontos fortes do hostal são a limpeza (no meu cobertor tinha percevejo, mas acho que é algo comum em hostals em Portugal) e a localização, no entanto, achei a recepção pouco comunicativa/agradável. O edifício e os móveis são antigos, a televisão do quarto não funcionava e não tínhamos tomada perto da cama. Na minha opinião, o preço está um pouco acima para o que é oferecido. Para quem só vai ao hostal para tomar banho e dormir, não está ruim.
