Review of Grand Hostel

To sum it up, I wouldn’t recommend it as a first choice. We didn’t feel very good there and we feel cheated out of our money, and its actually a ripoff. Our experience: We agreed with their staff member on what follows: They accepted a pet to stay with us for no extra charge, and we were going to pay 15 euro per person per night for a 6 person room. Then we were offered a 4 person room, instead of a 6 person room, so as to not disturb other guests with our pet. It turned out the next evening we will be charged 20 euro, the staff never mentioned that they will charge us 20 euro instead of 15, (And their website says the price of the 4 person dorms is 11-18 euro per night per person depending on the date, not 20! (it was in august). This by the way caused an unconsented increase in our expense of 30 euro. We would really have preferred to know the price we are paying, because we could have stayed at a different place, where the price was similar, the pet was accepted, and the room was nicer with a private bathroom. So we felt we were overcharged for the dorm. And since it’s a dorm I would expect lockers, but they were not there. This hostel has no guest kitchen either, which for that price is kind of cheap and uncomfortable. Its also not in the city center. In the room, in which we stayed, it was pretty hard to move around because there was about a meter of space from the beds to the wall. The bathrooms were good. You also have to pay for drinks like coffee, because the bottom floor serves as place to make more money by selling drinks. If you by any chance buy your own alcohol in a store, like a bottle of wine, it will be demanded you do not drink it on their premises. This does not include your room probably, but who would want to enjoy wine in that kind of room… Fortunately at least the internet is free. Oh and they DO NOT accept credit cards.
