Centrum Hostel

The place wasn’t clean, I found bed bugs in the room, the bed sheets were dirty, we were supposed to be in a room for 6 people and they allocated 8 people in the room. The communication in English is not sufficient. The hostel was overbooked, there were just 3 toilets and 1 shower, they were always dirty and flooded. We didn’t feel secure.

The hostel was undergoing renovations whilst I was there. There were no locks on any doors, no lockers and many, many things inside of the hostel were broken (bunk beds, door handles, bathrooms, etc). Some other people staying their mentioned that theft was an issue. When I arrived there was only one power socket in a room that held up to eight people. There was one working shower for the entire hostel. Watch out when going to the bathroom, many of the bathrooms do not have doors that close properly, let alone lock. The hostel was hard to find (it is in the building behind the kebab place on the second floor) and I was unable to find any signs directing people to it. There was little in the way of day to day management by the owners, instead I had to ask advice from the sole construction worker completing the renovations who spoke English, who remarkably also turned out to be by far the most racist man I have ever met (no small feat) and who gave me lectures in the mornings on his views whilst I was getting ready to head out for the day. By far the worst hostel I stayed at during the months I spent backpacking around Europe. Do not go here unless you have no other option.
