My recent weekend booking at this hostel, made during the busy tourist season and fireworks festival, turned out to be a very regrettable experience. From the moment I stepped into the room, a pervasive musty smell was noticeable. The general cleanliness was far below standard; it was disheartening to find hair on the bed upon checking in. The bedding itself was concerning: the blankets and pillows appeared unbleached, were an opaque white, and had noticeable black stains, suggesting they weren't properly sanitized.
Beyond the cleanliness issues, the room's functionality was lacking. Of the four LED lights, one was broken, impacting the overall lighting. The soundproofing was exceptionally poor, making it impossible to get restful sleep. I could distinctly hear the morning alarm from the room next door, mistaking it for my own, and could follow entire conversations from the adjacent room. The bathroom also suffered from poor deodorization, contributing to the musty smell, and the shower function was inadequate.
I immediately requested a room change, but unfortunately, due to the high demand that weekend (firework festival and travel season), no alternative rooms were available.
