Me and my friend arrived an hour early before check in and they let us put our bags in this little room in the lobby. My friend felt something was off and when we left to have lunch I read the reviews and regretted doing so as it made me extremely anxious - one review said someone was watching them sleep and all their bags had been rummaged through.
After lunch I ran straight back to the hostel which was only 10min before check in now and noticed my bag had been moved and my neck pillow lying on the floor when it had been on the handle of my suitcase. I checked my bags and nothing had been touched thankfully so I thought someone probably moved it to get to a bag behind it.
We were able to check in 10min early. Everyone should note THERE IS ONLY STAIRS. 3 floors no elevator. You will have to drag your heavy bags up the stairs, I was on the third floor.
Room was small with a fridge, two chairs and a table, a mirror, a fan and a bunk bed. It looks very old but seemed clean enough.
There was a leak in the roof that was dripping into one of the chairs and made the room smell musty.
Overall, my stay wasn’t bad. Though we had some dodgy neighbours, nobody entered our room, we made sure the door was locked when we left or went to sleep. The toilets are due for a renovation but they are kept clean enough.
So don’t let the bad reviews freak you out - as long as you are making sure the door is locked and taking safety measures you’ll be fine
