I don’t even know where to begin with how bad this cockroach ridden, cesspool of filth is. Well since I’ve already mentioned them, might as well start with the cockroaches. They are EVERYWHERE should you happen to need the bathroom at night you will surely feel several crunches under your feet on the way to the toilet. Just pray your not bare foot. On my very first day when given clean sheets there was even a dead cockroach mushed into what was supposed to be a clean sheet.
The bathrooms are worse than what you would get at an outdoor festival, no soap, not cleaned, and falling apart. I actually started showering at the gym to avoid using these bathrooms. Not to mention there was no light in our bathroom and we had workmen in and out for days trying to fix a leak. Yeah you get a lot of leaks and stagnant water everywhere in the bathrooms too.
Let’s move on to the beds. Or should I say the piece of foam with a cover on. Terrible excuses for a mattress! You will 100% feel the slats on your back every night and a good night sleep is just not possible.
The kitchen, hallways, common area, and dining areas are also all completely filthy, there was a food stain (or at-least what I hope was a food stain) smeared on the wall and has been there for over a week now, perhaps even longer since god knows how long it’s been there from before I arrived. Every corner has either grime or a cockroach.
I don’t think I’ve seen the hostel PROPERLY cleaned once in a week. Just a couple of the guests going in with a broom and having a half hearted sweep before going about their business. This really is worse than some of the hostels I’ve stayed in in 3rd world countries.
The only positive thing I can say is the girl at reception was friendly and nice. Everything else is a shambolic display. The place should be closed down.
