I went there and my reservation wasn’t there they said they no longer are with Hostelwold but I had the reservation. It was already 4pm after a long day of Traveling and I had to wait. When I got to my room the bathroom was dirty and there were stains on the sheet. Would not recommend

The host is friendly, but there are some important things to consider. My booking was downgraded without prior notice. The shared showers are cold, and there was mold on the bedroom walls. There is a lot of loud noise from a Church and from the street, ear plugs must be used to rest during the day and in the evening. Also, a cat and two dogs roam freely and may enter the room if windows are left open, which could be an issue for guests with allergies.
