Arts Factory by Nomads

If you stay ten-tee, it will be amazing memory. They have a lot of events. And they operate free shuttle bus too.

Great staff and lots of things to do

Staff were very accommodating on arrival and easy process checking in. But that’s as good as it gets. The kitchen is very dirty, sink filled with food and brown water, no clean pots or dishes and flies everywhere. The bathroom is just as bad, clumped hair on the walls for days. Wet tissue piled around the sink. The floor is dirty all the time. Blocked toilet was leaking onto the floor. Inside of the lockers were filthy, crawling with bugs. There was a locker below the one I used that was full of food and dirty clothes that had not been emptied for what looked like weeks. The beds were comfy, but no curtain and very squeaky. Although comfortable, the bunks were so dusty. Pick a top bunk if possible otherwise you will be showered with dust everytime the bed moves. Also no aircon just a fan coated in thick dust. Could do with a good clean. I don’t have an issue going for the cheaper option for a shabby hostel but dirty is not ok.

If you want to go and sing songs around a fire this is absolutely for you, very chill, of U want to fry an onion, forget about it. Kitchen is unuseable, no pots no pans, that are not totally knackered or filthy, no one cleans up after themselves at all, there are no mugs, you have to rent them hahahaha. The shower had a huge clump of hair on the wall that was there for 3 days and a pile of wet tissue in the corner despite them being cleaned everyday aparanlty. And despite this DIY chaotic approach to hostel management, they still annoying close the kitchen early, so the one good thing (the instant hot water) can't be used to make a cup of tea in the evenings. Some lovely interesting people. But being a hippy isn't about having baggy trousers and long hair, it's about respect and giving a crap, if U can't look after a kitchen then what sort of socialist hippy utopia is this? Place has got a strong whiff of private school kids with Mac books, to create their latest acid house, lofi, ambient, tecno remix, too many people far to proficient on the piano, got a bit to old to go on another skiing holiday with mum and dad so time to get a shell anklet and some elephant trousers made by a kid in Bangladesh for peanuts No decent vegan options in their Caffe either, they should really sort that out, it's not hard to have some vegan sausages in the freezer. Obviously not for me but some people will undoubtedly love the chaos and more power to them. I really hope they print this out and put it on the wall in some sort of ironic art statement. All that said the staff were super nice.
