Backpackers Fairytale Hostel

AMAZING! Went on holiday too split with my friend decided too book a hostel for the first time as it was cheaper. But didn’t expect how much both of would enjoy it. Met so many knew people and it’s been life changing decided we’d love too travel. The staff were amazing so helpful and more like Friends. Thanks again! Highly recommend too anyone!

I wanted to like this hostel but - having stayed in dorms in 60+ countries - this is one of the worst. I checked out 2 days early even though they didn't give me a refund; it was that bad. The vibe is like a bunch of teens living in a shared apartment - cigarette butts on the balcony, broken locks in the dorms, ants crawling all over the bathroom and kitchen sinks. Pros: - great location - attentive staff who try to clean up after the guests (who leave their dishes all over the kitchen counter) Cons: - 5 flights of stairs. If you return at night, the stairs have no lighting so you have to use your phone flashlight. - ants all over bathroom and kitchen sinks - kitchen and living area are dirty (bags, leftover food, half-filled cups, cigarette butts, etc everywhere. Lots of litter.) - bathroom is so cramped that your elbow hits the wall when you turn around to flush the toilet - shower is lukewarm at best and changes hot/cold wildly - bunk beds are shaky and show their age - dorms don't lock. One night, a guy wandered in while I was in bed and said he was looking for his friend... Didn't feel totally safe...
