Lucky Youth

Where do I start? First off, DO NOT STAY HERE. My sister and I are well-​traveled and experienced backpackers and have never encountered such rude management. The apartment was very unclean. There were dirty dishes piled up in the kitchen, the bathrooms were filthy (soap scum, hair everywhere, incredibly dirty shower mat), and worst of all — our mattresses were covered with hair, dirt and food crumbs, and the sheets we were given were stuffed into a pillowcase wet and smelled of mildew. The towel that I rented was also still damp. The «free unlimited wifi» was a joke as it only worked 20% of the time. It was also INCREDIBLY slow, and the desktop computer that was provided never worked. The «total independence» promised is untrue — each set of travelers are given one key to the main door of the apartment complex, but the key to the apartment is shared between ALL residents of the hostel. If you’re coming in late — you have to wake someone up to let you in. If someone forgets to leave the key for you when no one is home, you’re out of luck. The «private room» is the living room of the apartment and thus not private at all if any other resident needs to use the kitchen, bathroom or leave the premises. The «24÷7» hot showers are hot for perhaps 4 minutes each hour, not nearly enough to accommodate the 8 – 9 people they cram into the flat.
I sent a very calm email to the manager the next morning explaining our dissatisfaction. 1) She accused me of lying. 2) She said that I was displeased because I was American. (I wasn’t aware that paying customers anywhere were okay with dirty accommodations.)
I was also displeased with the number of times I had to email the office before the trip to get responses.
In short, stay here at your own risk.
