Lack of regard to privacy and security
The front desk agent gave my information away to the other guests in the stay. Gave away my personal information and payment information to the other guests in the room.
Other guests in the room should not have access to the information about the one who booked it.

I would recommend you don’t stay here. It is very hot and the windows do not open All the way. The staff are very lazy and the breakfast service was awful and there wasn’t a consistent time with breakfast.

This place was one of the most unpleasant places I have ever stayed at. To begin with, we checked into our room which had not been cleaned from the previous occupants. Then after they switched our rooms, they ran out of towels, linen and key cards so we had to share 2 of each between 6. The paid buffet breakfast is atrocious and has no hot food. The staff are about as useless as an ashtray on a motorbike. And finally it’s in a very dodgy area. Couldn’t discourage people further from staying here.

Terrific! Stay away from this hostel! The worst place I’ve ever been in my life. Awful, dirty, a chaos, don’t provide linens and towels, no outlets to connect and charge devices, staff is patetic.
