Even they looked they are used to doing so. Because normally good staffs do not keep shouting over 1 min unilaterally -We couldn’t feel the hospitality from their stuff. Just felt as like we are goods on a belt conveyor just to provide money Good point-have wifi Brutta esperienza. 1, strutture povere- -La loro doccia può fornire solo acqua a 30 gradi anche a 10 gradi di temperatura ambiente -Il sistema di riscaldamento della stanza non era del tutto sufficiente. In inverno erano necessarie 4 camere per condividere un solo riscaldatore di oltre 25 persone sotto i 10 gradi - il microonde era rotto -Il frigorifero per gli ospiti era sporco 2-bassa ospitalità -persone che urlavano 6 volte entro 2 giorni e un ufficiale di polizia veniva 2 volte entro 2 giorni i dipendenti spesso gridano ai clienti. Anche loro sembravano abituati a farlo.Perché normalmente il personale buono non con -Non potevamo sentire l'ospitalità dalle loro cose.

The staff in general were not knowledgeable. They did't even know the hostel's address and they don't have a business card. The owner was not helpful either and I had to get back to him 3 times to get some tour information sold by it. The place was cold and there was no heating. It was 1C when I woke up at 6 AM ready for breakfast and Petra visit. Even though there were some empty beds in different room, they let one of the guests slept next to a window. I met this guy on the bus and he decided to stay in the same hostel with me. Had I not taken my bed first, I would have to sleep in his bed under the window and got sick the next day. He did. The bathroom was moldy and it got flooded when one took a shower. The toilet flush handle was broken and not replaced. There was no toilet papers in the bedroom and the toilet in the common area. The door to the bedroom was squeaky. I didn't understand why the owner didn't oil it. It made so much noise every time someone opened or closed it. I had booked and stayed there for 3 days. Rose from Italy who worked there was great. Breakfast was good value for money. The view from the dining area is great. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Dobre warunki na krótki wypad do Petry, jedzenie na miejscu, pomocna i sympatyczna obsługa. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jiakai 29 Dec 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness #### Comfortable bed and helpful staff Spacious room with comforable bed, staff are helpful but there’s room to improvement for hot water as it is not 24 hours and the bathroom’s not clean enough. ##### Jiakai Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Tejs 27 Dec 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not good Not good experience.

On top on that, the place is dirty. Mold and dirt in the room and bathroom - disgusting. Only positive. Wifi works and the view is good. NOT recommended. ##### Tejs Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 21 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness The hostel has a nice view and a good price.

Pokud cestujete ve skupince, určitě najdete lepší hotel. Pro jednotlivce, který je ochoten hodně slevit ze svých domácích standardů je to cenově dostupná varianta. Výhodná pro setkávání a komunikaci s podobně zaměřenými turisty z celého světa, k získání nových kontaktů, přátel informací pro další pobyt nebo jiné destinace. WiFi v ceně. V zimě je zima (a v létě asi vedro) a teplá voda žádná nebo vlažná. ##### Vilem Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018
