The place was spotless and cozy — both the room and the shared areas — but still, it was hands down the worst night of my life before a 10-hour flight.
The staff were super friendly, but out of five people at reception, only one English-speaking person. I get that it’s 2025 and we’ve all got smartphones and google-translator, but still — for a hostel full of first-time tourists? Kinda weird.
1. It was 27°C in the room. I asked for help with the AC — they said someone would come check it. No one did.
2. I tried sleeping in that microwave with a splitting headache. Gave up around midnight and tried opening the windows — turns out they don’t open. So I opened the balcony door instead, which instantly killed any sense of safety. From that point on, it was just anxious half-sleep.
3. Also, let’s be real — it’s a hostel with a shared bathroom. The listing said “family room with terrace,” and that part about the shared bathroom wasn’t obvious. I was in a rush when I booked, so yeah — maybe my fault. But still, just slap that info on the front page of the listing and save everyone the frustration.
4. There’s no fridge or kettle in the room. Sure, there’s a shared kitchen, but I’m not exactly thrilled about leaving chilled meds or skincare in a public fridge. My daughter’s soda was boiled by morning — totally gross. We left everything behind and just checked out. No hard feelings, pls🤷🏼♀️
5. Oh, and to charge a dead phone without a Chinese adapter? You need to log into WeChat and pay to use the power bank. If your phone’s at 0% — good luck.
6. Same with Wi-Fi: to get the password, you have to scan a QR code and go to a website. Without internet😂
So yeah — bingo. Heads up to any fellow travelers from Europe🙏🏻
