"The hostel itself was fine. Pretty clean. The staff were nice. It’s just unfortunate that I only stayed 1 night out of the 5 I paid for because a few guests were beyond unhygienic. The entire room reeked of their stench and the staff couldn’t get me into another dorm. I know that’s a hard issue for staff to deal with and it wasn’t their fault. "
