I have never stayed somewhere that I can safely say that there is no positives. I still cant as the following events led to myself and friends having to sleep in our cars in a car park. When we arrived the staff didn't really seem to have any idea of what they were doing. The hostel consists of a few floors that were each a bit creepy in there own right, It had strange pictures and a funny smell. Whilst waiting on a friend checking us in after giving them his driving license and credit card number ( which seemed strange to start as we could only pay in cash) I looked at a shower, when I switched on the light the fan came on and sounded like it was going to explode. I switched the light off and this horrible noise continued for 5 minutes later. When in our room which had previous restaurant Zanzibar stickers everywhere, we noticed that there were holes in our sheets, most of the beds were foam mattresses apart from one which you could feel every spring on. The wall next to a bed was clearly just 3 bits of plywood screwed in block a hole. We were unsure on safety so didn't leave our stuff in the room when we went out, which turned out to be the best idea possible. When we came back around 1am all of our beds were taken presumably by the market people outside, We were just going to sleep in the common room and get our money back the next day but noticed that the emergency exit was open, presumably where they came from. Instead we got out of there as we did not feel safe and the reception shut at 9pm with no way to contact them apart from a mobile which was no use. We looked for a different place but there wasn't any as it was late and a bank holiday so found a quiet car park and slept in our cars,
The next morning we went back, my friend texted the owner the night before saying what happened, if he didn't I don't think we would have got our money back. It took 2 staff members to speak to him on the phone, look in rooms and look confused before we got the money back. We tried to get the paper back with details on it but they said we could only score it out. VERY VERY DODGY COMPANY!!!!!
I recommend spending as much as you need to sleep anywhere else!!!!
