Two guests reported direct encounters with bed bugs, including one who was bitten. While the hostel is otherwise excellent, these pest issues are serious health concerns.
🚩 Red Flags
“the logistics of getting a shower was complex! To make it worse, on the second night I was bitten by bedbugs”
“we had some small insects on the bed, not bedbugs don't worry, just to let you know if you are particularly picky”
“The toilets in the dorm areas are some of the tiniest I have ever experienced. It felt like I had to tuck my feet behind my ears just to make it fit.”
“Room is really small and the matress is really hard and uncomfortable.”
“rooms are too small and the location is not a touristic zone”
“The room we booked also had no window which was extremely claustrophobic. I would not recommend this room.”
“no window in the room, so no ventilation...!”
“No windows and no daylight in the room - which you know when booking though.”
“They have plenty of cameras upstairs, including one that can almost peek into the shower section. One day, I was five minutes late to check out and they called me by name asking for it. The second day, they called at 11:57 while I was in the shower, and again at 12:04. It felt like Big Brother was watching.”
“having to pay a substantial fine for staining the sheets with dye that had ran off clothes. It seemed most unfair as it was obviously an accident”
