Ace Hostel

Okay. I would like to start by saying I don't write reviews...ever but I feel obligated to my fellow traveller to warn them against this place. I have been travelling in hostels on and off for three years and I am not a very picky person when it comes to my accommodation, give me a clean bed and shower and I don't really care about much else but this place is by far the WORST! Where do I begin? Check in: you had to call a Guy who may or may not answer to let you in as there was no reception. English barrier, it took a few phone calls until he knew what we were saying 'we have a reservation for tonight!' When we got there, there was no sign that said ace apartments of anything. We paid in cash, no passport or id checks at all, our 'receipt' was hand written on a piece of paper. Now for the accommodation Bathroom: shower head was broken so you had to hold the head, No shower curtain Water heater was taped together Two holes in the bathroom door Mold on the floor, ceiling, walls, basin, and bath Cabinets were broken, tap was broken, bathroom floor was damp and never cleaned. Obviously no towels provided! Bedroom: our bedroom had two 'beds' when our booking was for one double. Both our Wooden beds were broken and taped back together Mattress' were foam. Sheets were so filthy I didn't even want to sleep on them. Pillow was a dirty old cushion wrapped in an over sized filthy pillow case. Power points in rooms didn't work. Stuffy, no air con, both fans In room had wires sticking out of them, didn't work. Curtain fell off the window when I tried to close it. Dust and crap all over the floor. There was a used condom under my bed. Dusty old cupboards broken just taking up space in the room. Power points on walls had the buttons sticking out. Guests in the other room were sleeping on the floor and on couches in their own sleeping bags - no pillows. Kitchen was nothing, dirty and few cutlery, appliances old and worn, wouldn't even trust them To sum it up, this place needs to be shut down, I don't think it's even legal and I've never stayed in anywhere more horrible in my life. To top it off me and my partner who I was staying with both got scabies after our stay here, for those who don't know; scabies is worse than bed bugs but not quite measles, it's a little bug that gets under your skin and spreads a spotty rash all over your body. I had it on my feet, legs, thighs, hips, under my arms, all down my arms, some on my face, my ears and the back on my neck. A very inconvenient thing to get travelling. We had to take anti allergy pills to get rid of it, either wash or throw out everything we owned, and soak in this stingy cream all over our body to get rid of it! Horrible! Please don't read my review and think, 'oh well it's a bed and Its better than sleeping on the sheet.' NO! I would rather have been homeless than have stayed here! Worst experience ever, people don't even believe me when I tell them! Please fellow travellers; stay away.

No reception, given a 'receipt' hand-written on scrap paper! Apartment quality atrocious: guests sleeping on couches, kitchen w/o working appliances, no shower in b/room. Beds taped together, stained cushions as pillows & filthy sheets provided. A used condom under my bed - I'm a lesbian travelling with my girlfriend; enough said. Finally; we both got such a bad infestation of scabies after staying here, a pharmacist initially thought we had measles. My partner and I are experienced backpackers who have stayed at countless hostels worldwide, and this place is the worst by far, it's unforgettably disgusting. Any photos are outdated and completely inaccurate as a representation of this dismal excuse for a hostel.

I'm not an demanding person. Just give me a simple bed in a simple room and i'm more than happy. My family knows me for being a "spartan" guy. But man... this place is disgusting, even too much for me! I booked 3 nights, paid in advance, but i stayed there only 2 night! The third one i had to find another place to stay... And i tell you, i used the place only to sleep some hours and take a shower... It simply stinks. Literally. 1. You can't sleep, there are no real bed only used couchs covered with a sheet, it s really ukward to sleep. 2. The shower is not working, you have cold water or boiling water, impossible to make a shower. I burned myself twice there... 3. The toilet is... simply forget it... Beside this is not an hostel but an abbandoned old appartment, there are broken windows, full of rubbish, broken mirror, stinks and over all the place is in a decadent state. Check the pictures. Follow my advice: pick another place random in the same category price. You can't go worse than this! P.S. the location is not that important, since is full of other places in the center where you can stay. And all places are at walking distance. Pest center is small.
