Probably the worst hostel I have ever stayed in, there was no water coming from the shower and when I asked the staff they recommended I just use a bucket.. wifi doesn’t work, the location is terrible, feels really dangerous. The thing that pissed me off the most is that I left the room for like half an hour and when I got back the girl from the reception had went through all my things that I left on the bed, she said she thought it was free and she misplaced half of my stuff. Horrible experienc
