“Avoid this filthy place!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 March 2009

We were booked in a big group and wanted to stay the night from Saturday to Sunday 28.-29.3.09. The hostel is very very filthy, overpriced and is guided by unfriendly staff. As we saw the tiny room, with the window open (-1C°) no heating and holes in the bedding, we decided to leave and look for another place. We did... More

“Stay at your own risk!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 March 2009

Arosa Backpacker's Downtown is run by profit hungry, non service-minded people. They squeeze in maximum number of beds into the rooms (more than they are meant for) and the comfort is extremely low. We were there as a group for a ski weekend, and due to miscommunication the staff changed our booking without informing us about the details. They tried... More

“To be avoided at all costs”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 March 2009

people found this review helpful

We booked a couple of 4- and 6-bed rooms for a large group of people. Upon arrival, we found that instead of that, we had 2 10-bed rooms, which were obviously not meant to accomodate that number of people. The rooms were filled from wall to wall with beds, no space between them. Yours truly slept in a bed with... More

“Youth Hostel not recommended”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 August 2004
7
people found this review helpful

Whatever you do, don't stay at the Youth Hostel! It's the kind of VERY poor hostel with coin-operated showers. Amazingly, though, it appears to be very popular and well-subscribed, but I would be interested to know about the repeat-visit rate. Basically, the building hardly has any windows at all. I can't understand why -may be it used to be a... More
