I have never experienced such a horrible hostel experience in my many travels. The online pictures were much brighter and cleaner than in reality...dark, dirty, filthy kitchen, rundown furniture and bedding, lumpy mattress, no privacy to change, bathrooms had no noise barriers, as bathroom doors were louvered wood, allowing all bodily functions (urinating, deficating, farting, vomiting...yes, we heard it all, at all hours of the night) to be heard clearly by all. Quiet hours, which were posted and communicated as 10pm, were not followed, with cooking and stomping around the place past 2am. The smell of **** and some who were clearly under the influence of substances, was evidenced. We did not feel safe and did not sleep at all.
When we tried to explain and asked to cancel, or give a partial refund, the management refused and mocked and gas lighted our concerns, saying the man who was puking and using the kitchen after midnight probably had a stomach ache and was making a bite to eat to settle their stomach. They offered to move us to a different location that was far from where we needed our accommodations. We asked if we could bless 2 other women to use our paid pod for the remaining 10 days and they refused that as well and would not speak in person on a phone call...all communication done by text, ending with their manager, sending a smiley face and telling us to have a good day. We lost $1500.
Do yourself a favour and avoid this podshare. Thiwas an unjust, greedy and se
