We arrived, the door was locked and after ringing several times nobody answered. Eventually another guest checked us in. The room didn’t have windows or a lock, so anyone could get in. The bed and pillow were very hard. The toilets were often dirty, poorly soundproofed and wet. Owner didn’t speak English but was very helpful and flexible. We were able to leave our bags after checkout. Not social which we enjoyed. Safe and great location. All in all nice, clean hostel. Would stay again!
