While we were apprehensive about the shared bathroom, it was never an issue. I do recommend shower shoes due to the wet hair from other guests. Maybe Iâm just a clean freak. I donât like sharing with strangers, but I have stayed in countless hostels in my travels and this seemed okay. I do recommend shower shoes due to wet floors, hair and mildew. As a woman, I get it, we shed, but I donât love stepping on a strangers hair when I shower. I simply wore my sandals in the shower! No biggie.
As for the room, my friend and I were excited by the pictures of the room. The picture shows a small, quaint room that appears crisp and clean. The room was rather cramped and tired. Iâm 5â9â and hit my head on the slanted ceiling dozens of times. We just didnât feel like spending time in our room. Also, due to the set up of the home, I felt like even our conversations could be heard across the hall. For sure the TV is heard downstairs.
Hostels are fun and thatâs exactly what this felt like. A place I wouldâve killed for in my early 20âs. Just missed the mark for us.
