This accomodation was disappointing. The general cleanliness of the shared kitchen was poor and very limited space. Floors hadn’t been cleaned for so long that they were sticky. Our bedroom had a window that wouldn’t close and a cold shower, neither of which were dealt with to any degree.

The properpty has alot of bedbugs and is very dirty, they put 10 to 14 people in one small room, and they do not even clean the rooms.

Staying here is a health risk, i had a terrible experience with them 2 nights stay where first night i discovered bed bugs and changed the room the next day also to see the same bed bugs.

Dirty bathrooms and overcrowded hostel

We were really disapointed, we've been travelling for 3 and half months and these were the most disgusting bathrooms we've been in. First time I felt the need to wear flip flops in the shower! I told the reception that they were filthy and excuses were made about too many people using the shower and nothing changed. Don't forget to bring your own toilet paper as they're often empty! There were too few facilities for the number of people in the hostel. The kitchen was inadequate and filthy so we didn't even use it.
However, we stayed in a private double room on a high floor which was nice and also quiet at night. No complaints with the room but the shared bathrooms and living areas were far from up to scratch. A serious deep clean is needed.

Wij verbleven hier met onze dochter. We hadden een kamer geboekt met eigen badkamer echter deed het warm water het niet dus moesten we alsnog gebruik maken van de gedeelde douch. Is op zich niet zo erg maar die was zo vies dat we niet eens de muren wilde aanraken. Er een hing pleister aan de muur en na vier dagen hing die er nog dus ging er van uit dat er niet is schoongemaakt. Onze kamer was aan de straatkant waar ongeveer 50 Uber eats fietsen stonden en vaak tot ‘s nachts veel lawaai vandaan kwam. De keuken vloer was vies vet en glad en het rook er zuur. De locatie is verder wel super gelegen. Dus als je een echte backpacker bent en het niet erg vind dat het minder schoon is dan normaal een prima plek.

Broken window, non-working shower, sink that’s too high, endless cigarette smoke (it comes straight in since there’s no window), cramped bathroom, multiple non-working sockets, bed with dents all over.
