I rarely go through the effort to leave reviews, but this one is needed. I have never been so repulsed by a hostel— which is saying something since I have traveled a lot. But it wasn’t just filthy, the staff were totally unengaged, there is little to no security (anyone could just walk in), and the facilities are extremely lacking. Bad air ventilation so the stink in the morning of everyone’s body odour is overwhelming. I could not recommend any hostel less than Foresteria Sociale.

The property is fine. Dorms are okay but the kitchen was horrible with mosquitoes and pests flying all over the washing and cooking areas. It mentions hair dryers etc but none of that was present in the dorms. Even handwash was not present in the washrooms.

The building was really cool with some beautiful art on some walls and ceilings. The garden and courtyard were beautiful. The cleaners were super lovely. There could be more access to bathrooms as sometimes the few got dirty, or maybe they need to be cleaned more often. Also, it would be nice if soap was supplied in the washroom.
