Stains in the room and bed vary from blood to cockroach to God knows what. The food was borderline inedible with hairs scattered on almost every plate.
Once upon a time this was a wonderful place i Imagen but unfortunately now it's just being run into the ground by terrible staff. it's a terrible shame to see a wonderful historical building fall to pieces . But the random wildlife was fun if you ever stay there say hi to this guy and don't stay there in the rain more water inside then outside
It's really pretty and offers everything you could need in a hostel but the road to the house is quiet long and since it's private you have no other option than walking. The WiFi is good but doesn't reach the rooms just the community places. Must be great for camping!!
Very basic and we had problems with little things like sockets not taking adapters and one of the shutters not closing so we had no privacy in our room. The toilets also close between 11 am and 2pm and so you have no access to water during this time as well as the loos. There is also a long walk up a hill on an uneven track to the hostel. I would recommend spending that bit more and going to a b&b closer to the centre of town.
The hostel is in a wonderful building, or at least it was when it was built. It has long since gone to ruin, that said, it does have character and there are some nice features around the site. That is where the compliments end. The receptionist had all the charisma of a pine cone and overcharged us. When we pointed out the error she refused to accept she had made a mistake and eventually went through all the cash transactions made during the day to disprove our claim. Ultimately there was an extra note in the till which just happened to be the precise amount by which we had been overcharged. There was no apology at all or even acknowledgment of the inconvenience. Rooms are basic in the extreme, this is a hostel so I guess that isn't much of a concern. The general condition of the building is poor, mould and cracking paintwork surrounds us but at least it was outwardly clean. There are en-suite bathrooms available but my room did not and so mandated shared facilities. As before these were grubby and run down, mould on the ceilings etc but I did witness someone trying to clean in there. Towels are not provided and when we offered the advertised cash amount (€2.50) our receptionist friend said this was not enough so we gave up. The hostel is far from the city centre, we could get a bus during the day but had to get a taxi at night (€20). This might not be a problem for some but it is not particularly convenient. Overall we had a bad experience here, it was the only accommodation available at short notice but I couldn't recommend it to anyone. There are better hostels around.
Little rooms, felt like in a prison. Dirty. Employees looked stressed and where not really nice. Was not feel save at this place. Is sad that they not take care about this place because the hotel is so wonderful located.
Definitely a cheap place to stay and save some money.
So.. where should I begin? everything thats Not build to Last ancients is overused dirty and broken. the beds are bend like hammocks so your Back will Hurt in the morning. but you wont sleep anyway because there is always someone yelling or doorslamming in this house. mostly until 1or2 am and it Starts again at 6:30am. earplugs highly recommended!! there are Windows in the Wall on top of the roomDoors and the hallway lights wont be turned Off, so even if you Turn your own lights off, you still Can read a book in your room. Sleepingmask highly recommended!! also the rooms are so wet, that the water is dripping from the inside of the Windows in the morning. its mosquitoes paradise and mold is the best guest of the House.
the showers and the toilets are Kind of dirty and smelly also full of mold. Gasmask highly recommended. the WiFi is Not working properly and there is No Service for anything.
if you like disgusting adventures come here, otherwise DONT PAY FOR THIS! :-( (corrected by Google)
The beds were acceptable, it was clean overall. The laundry room was bad, the dryers didn't work. Also there were only 2 sockets per room.
And it was absolutely not near the city center.
But the customer service was good.
It has been a few years since we have stayed there, but our stay was fantastic. The facility was beautiful with original frescos and marble art. The grounds were well taken care if. The walk up the dirt tree covered road from the main road was beautiful. The restaurant at the bottom if the hill was delicious. We stayed in one of the rooms that was detached from the main building.
I spent a couple of nights there in 1977! The villa and environs were beautiful. It was not the most comfortable of places as I recall, but for a poor student, it was affordable. The people atmosphere was great and I enjoyed the winding walk to the nearest watering hole!
