Reviews of Hotspot Hostel

12 September 2011 Sofia would recommend this property

Liked: Clean and Confortable.

Disliked: There was only one washing machine and there was only one fridge. Someone stole our food.

01 September 2011

Liked: Common room was cosy and had a TV, met some great people there (although that had little to do with the hostel itself!) Bed was made-up on arrival and was relatively comfy. Near centre of town and port, though bit of a walk from main beaches.

Disliked: There are freezing cold showers every hour of the day, not to mention uni-sex communual shower rooms with nothing but some glass blocks between each cubicle (which were totally see-through!) And disgustingly soggy bath mats which were never dried out. The 'air-conditioning' is a joke- what they mean by that is 'ineffectual fans that take up most of the already limited space in the bedrooms'. Some friends of ours were told drinking was allowed in the common room, only to be screamed at later by an irate and exccentric member of staff who told them it was forbidden. Bit of an atmosphere killer, that's for sure!

13 August 2011

Liked: Location.

Disliked: They say they have a parking lot but they don´t, its a hook for those who want to have a place to park their car, but they only tell you to park the car on the street, with that way of thinking all the hostels in the world would have a car parking area!. It was very noisi and the Air conditioning was a portable one for a room for 12 people fuul of windows, we almost die of the heat in that room. The staff was useless!!!!!

Disliked: i got bed bugs at this hostel! i got bitten on my back, arms and legs and when i tired telling the owner she wouldn't believe and was very rude toward me and some other guests. one of the other staff was nicer and refunded me one night accommodation out of four. the showers were cold most of the time, the toilets were constantly left without toilet paper and the bins in the bathrooms and rooms were overflowing. on the last night of the kitchen was closed for no reason and no one was allowd to cook. the staff aren't very organised or helpful and the reception was hardly ever open. the security in the hostel and rooms was poor, the doors were never locked and there was no lockers. the over all experience at this hostel was not very pleasant!

06 September 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Close to the city centre, nice atmosphere
