My First Hostel Experience â A Complete Nightmare
This was my very first experience staying in a hostel â and unfortunately, it turned into a complete nightmare. Exactly what I was afraid of happened: I, a young woman, was placed in a room with five adult men. I was the only female in the room.
As soon as I walked in, the room had a strong, unpleasant smell. I felt extremely unsafe and uncomfortable. I ended up crying and decided not to stay the night. Instead, I checked into another hotel while I waited for the staff to resolve the situation.
What I find especially disrespectful is that they thought it was okay to put a young girl in an all-male room with men over 40, some of them made inappropriate comments toward me. How anyone thought that was a good idea is beyond me. Iâm still traumatized by the experience and would never return to this hostel.
To make things worse, the bathroom was filthy and had mold.
For just one night, the hostel was ok. However, the room was very small for 6 beds. It was impossible to use the drawer under the bed if there was another person in the bed opposite. The bathroom sink was also very small with a cabinet above it that made it difficult to use the sink. The room next to the kitchen was not very quiet, as people were socializing there, which is to be expected. However, there could be a time limit. People talking loudly almost midnight is not nice. Despite being small, the facilities were clean. The staff were very friendly.
