The heating sysyem doesn't start until 8 pm, and it only works from 8 to 11. Frozen hostel during the day and afternoon.

If we left the heating on all day and all night, it would be ridiculous the amount of oil that would burn, sorry but having it on from 8pm until 11 30pm is a good compromise, please note it is now on from 6pm but even so 8pm is still acceptable.

The heat went out during our stay and there was no hot water. There was no staff/warden on duty to inform of the situation. It was a cold stay.

The heating is on from 6pm until 11 30 pm so that will explain why it went off during the night. there IS staff on duty from 10am until 8 30 pm plenty of time for you to have raised the issues.
