The move turned out to be good though, because the first night I slept in a room which was clearly not renovated. The mattress was as hard as a gym mat, the plug by my bed did not work and the bed was too short for me and feet stuck out the back (6ft 3“). Also every room has a humidifier that runs 24/7 because the windows can only be opened a small crack. This humidifier is extremely loud and I could hear it through my noise cancelling AirPods playing music during the night. The blinds on the windows also don’t make the room completely dark, which doesn’t contribute to a good nights sleep after a long day exploring the city. The rooms all have bunk beds, but the old beds shake completely if one of the people in the beds move, making it very hard to fall asleep if you are paired with someone who moves a lot when they sleep.
My move after the first night I then had to move to a different room which had been renovated and was a lot better bed wise. The new room was now a 8 bed room instead of the 6 bed room I had booked and payed for. I was told this room was $9 cheaper than what I payed, but I was NOT refunded. These beds were very comfortable and also had blinds on each bed for some privacy, which was not possible in the old room. However this room had walking lights on the wall that could not be turned off, and lit up a good bit of the room. My roommates and I had to resort to covering them up with the trash cans so the room was dark. The blinds in this room also didnt close completely. There is one bathroom on every floor for each gender which was decently clean though, however the showers do NOT get warm and stay Ice cold, Not very pleasant…
Putting up with all of this would be fine if this hostel was 30-40$ a night, but knowing I paid over 80$ a night during this stay, I will definitely not return to this Hostel.
