First Hostel

I had a very disappointing experience at this hostel. I booked two beds in a 4-bed shared room, but upon arrival, my partner and I were placed in a room with more people instead. To make things worse, the beds assigned to us were already occupied, leaving us without the accommodations we had reserved and paid for. When we complained to the host, they told us that the room we had booked was under maintenance and that they had decided to move us without even informing or asking us. Frustrated and unhappy with the situation, we decided to leave the hostel, but the host refused to give us a refund, despite the fact that they failed to provide what we had booked. The lack of organization and disregard for guests' reservations was unacceptable. If you’re looking for a reliable and well-managed place to stay, I strongly advise against booking this hostel.

Things that you should know before booking this hostel: - if you book First Hostel chances are that you will be transferred to First Hostel Bucur 21 without your knowledge. It is downgrade in terms of hygiene, rooms and common areas. - hostel is recruiting center for religious cult (Jehovah's witnesses). You will be harassed and pestered by their "soldiers" so be aware and stay safe. - check in system is very unsafe. Anyone who knows hack how to enter the gate can enter the facilities because entrance door is wide open all day long and reception is empty because both hostels have the same receptionist who is working very few hours (14:00-20:00). Bottom line is, hostel is cheap and the overall experience for the guests is cheap. Stay safe, don't ruin your holiday because some people have low moral and poor work ethics.

Unsafe and dirty hostel! Adrian who is owner or administrator insults people who leave bad reviews. Read all reviews and you will see this is repetitive behaviour. PS I'm curious to see what kind of sarcastic reply he will leave under this review :)

Our group occupied three different rooms. There were bed bugs seen in one of the rooms on the last night of our stay, and the management of the hostel was unresponsive to our concerns about this situation. The place in general is dirty. No where to relax outside due to broken furniture and/or furniture with bird droppings all over. No management person was ever seen on site during the three days we stayed there.
