Ambiance Bed bugs

Ambiance personnel Bedbugs on last 2 days

Friendly staff, good facilities for the price point. Rooms were cleaned daily and there were quite a few communal spaces where you could chill out and socialise. The ability to check-in late was excellent, and I was sent detailed instructions ahead of my arrival with instructions on how to access my key, etc. Happy to say that I met some nice fellow travellers during my stay, who I now class as friends! Extremely dodgy area with many homeless and drunk addicts frequenting the surrounding area. A man was shot dead a short distance from the hostel during my stay, so I didn't feel safe venturing out alone at night. If I had known that the hostel was in such a bad area, then I would have definitely opted to stay elsewhere. Extremely loud at night, with music blaring and shouting - therefore I often struggled to sleep and subsequently had low energy the following day. Another issue was the bad smell in the shower facilities on my floor. It was so bad that I ended up showering on different levels. This should be addressed from a cleanliness point of view. I also heard about multiple bed bug outbreaks from fellow travellers. Whilst this did not directly affect me, it did make me feel less comfortable staying there.

Not bad but very small and I found bedbugs in my bed
