I spent one of the most terrible nights of my life in this hostel. Some of the other guests, a few of whom live there, were pretty safe on drugs and accordingly disturbing they behaved too. When we were generally rather frightened and just wanted to get out of this hole, one started screaming like in a horror movie. We no longer ventured outside the room door and even peed in pet-bottles in the room to avoid contact with the others. As if all this were not enough, the next morning someone knocked on our door several times without even saying a word. Apart from these anxiety-inducing events, the hostel was not exactly seen first cream from the kitchen equipment and the general cleanliness. All in all, it was an extremely unpleasant stay that I don't wish on anyone like that.
