Money minded hostel owner
had the worst time staying at this hostel. previously we've booked for two days, but we sent an email canceling one day accommodation to the person in charge couple of weeks before we arrive. He did not checked his email and claimed that we did not inform him earlier and asked for full payment from us. neither he wanted to hear any explanation nor admit his fault in not checking his mail box. we've informed them of our early arrival but we didn't get any response from them. when we arrived early, no one answered us until doorbell has been rang for few times. no one entertain us when we got inside the hostel. waited for an hour when some guess in the hostel woke them up for a change. hot water bath cost Euro 0.50 for seven minutes of bath, leave luggage for Euro 2 per day, be careful of extra charges while staying at this hostel. a lot of noise at night (when the door of other rooms open and close). the room's window is directly connected to the downstairs corridor and kitchen. voices of people chatting, cooking and drinking can be heard vividly from the room. the shower/ toilet room is extra small, with three shower room sharing only one light in the middle, can hardly see where you're brushing at! worst hostel that we've ever experienced!
