Would highly NOT recommend staying here if you are girl! Property was dirty with bugs and mould, no locks or security on front door, bedroom doors or anything. Lots of strange men lurking around and unsure if they were staying there…pay the extra amount and stay somewhere else you will thank yourself later

Ich komme da einfach nicht drüber…noch nie war ich im einem so minderwertigen und siffigen Hostel. Schimmelflecken in der Küche, ekelhafte Männer über 50 mit widerwärtigem Verhalten gegenüber jungen Frauen und Gästen, die mal eben die Bratpfanne in Flammen setzen!. Dazu kommt noch, dass sich das Personal nicht blicken lässt. Also insgesamt fehlen mir wirklich die Worte zu diesem Drecksloch, was sich Hostel nennt. Einfach ekelhaft!!!! Man müsste mir Geld bezahlen damit ich da nochmal ...

I just can't get over it...nor have I ever been in such a low-quality and sifflin Hostel. Mold stains in the kitchen, disgusting men over 50 with repulsive behavior towards young women and Guests, who just put the Bratpfanne in Flames!.

The hostel was extremely dirty. There were no locks on any of the doors, including the front door and bedroom doors. Any stranger from outside could easily come in. The wooden bed frames were falling apart and being held by glue. The receptionist was never there. Horrible experience and very expensive. Do not stay here.

Me han echado de la habitación pagada por mi empresa por llamar a policía municipal por teléfono por tener la entrada obstruida y no poder salir mi persona a cumplir con mi trabajo. Dos señoras con acento argentino gritándome delante de los clientes diciendo que si llamaba a los municipales no dormiría ahí, y mi empresa habia pagado hasta el dia tres de noviembre por adelantado. Maltrato de palabras hacia mi persona.

I was kicked out of the room paid for by my company for calling the municipal police by phone because I had the entrance blocked and couldn't get out of my persona to do my job. two ladies with an Argentine accent yelling at me in front of the customers saying that if I called the municipalities I wouldn't sleep there, and my company had paid up to November 3 in advance. verbal abuse towards my persona.

Staff was very friendly but hostel is not worth 40€ the night. I think 20 would be fair. The sleeping rooms had like 100 degrees at night. I could hardly sleep

Um zum Stadtzebtrum zu kommen, muss man den Bus nehmen und sonst ist auch nichts drum herum, das Hostel ist schmutzig, es hat zwar eine Küche, aber um das Geschirr abzuwaschen, musste ein super ekeliger Schwamm genutzt werden. Es waren keine netten Reisenden unterwegs und die Fächer für das Gepäck, waren auch nicht der Wahnsinn. Immerhin waren die Mitarbeitenden nett, ansonsten NICHT ZU EMPFEHLEN!!

To get to the Stadtzebtrum, you have to take the bus and otherwise there is nothing around, the hostel is dirty, it does have a kitchen, but to wash the dishes, a super ugly sponge had to be used. there were no neat travelers on the road and the baggage boxes, were not crazy either. after all, the staff were neat, otherwise NOT ENCOURAGING!!

Truly awful hostel! From beginning to this place was a total disappointment. It started with the location being a sewage plant almost an hours walk from the city center. Luckily some locals walking they’re dog helped me find the place. When I asked if anyone had made the same mistake the response was a giggle ‘yeah, it happens all the time, the geo-location is wrong on the website. It also should be noted that according to Google maps, balea hostel is a 32min walk to the town center and a...

EL trabajador que nos atendió fue especialmente majo. Yo dormí en la litera de arriba junto a la ventana de la habitación. Como hacía mucho calor no se podía cerrar y no había persianas. La ventana daba a la calle, a la entrada del hostel, y como era sábado había un grupo de personas del hostel hablando y bebiendo. Las personas que estábamos en la habitación no podíamos dormir porque se oía demasiado. NO he dormido en toda la noche...

I slept on the top bunk by the window of the room. Because it was so hot you couldn't close and there were no blinds. The window looked out onto the street, at the entrance to the hostel, and since it was Saturday there was a group of people from the hostel talking and drinking. The people who were in the room we couldn't sleep because it was too loud. I haven't slept all night...

Ich hatte Angst nachdem ich die Goolge Bewertungen gelesen habe- wollte gar nicht mehr hin ... Doch als ich dann hin bin stand eine Pilgerin vor der Tür :) mit ihr zusammen das Hostel zu betreten gab mir ein gutes Gefühl! Dann war alles top, die Betten die Küche die Duschen alles durchschnittlich Hostel mäßig nur die Einrichtung ist liebevoller die Betten aus Holz mit Schubladen ...

I was scared after reading the Goolge reviews- I didn't want to go anymore ... But when I went then I was standing a pilgrim woman at the door :) entering the hostel together with her gave me a gut feeling! Then everything was top, the Beds the Kitchen the Shower everything was average Hostel moderate only the furnishings are more loving the Beds made of wood with drawers ... The Staff was nice but could poor English The men on the spot have none of the unspoken:)

The location is a little bit outside the city centre (busstop outside the hostel is plus. it's easy to go to the centre). The living area is nice at the river. I don't think it's worth the money and I wouldn't stay here again.
