As an experienced female, solo traveller, I usually have no problems staying in big mixed dorms. However, I really did not enjoy my stay for various reasons.
Lets begin with the positives:
+ beds were clean and comfy
+ There was cutting in front of each bed for privacy
+ each bed had a spacious locker with key
+ the location was ideal
+ The receptionist was friendly and helpful
However:
- on my first night, a clearly deranged man came back around 4 am. He was creepy; he for instance laughed for 5 minutes straight in the middle of the night. We tried to wake him without success. I ended up leaving around 6 am as I felt uncomfortable. We notified staff, who dealt with him. However, he was still there when I returned at 5 pm. I asked if we was going to stay another night, but apparently they kicked him out but let him stay all day??
- the hostel was very worn down. There was no door between the reception and the dorm, meaning a fair bit of noise. Furthermore, the door to the reception was broken, meaning there was no door between the outside and the dorm. Therefore, it was very cold at night.
- the place is next to a nightclub playing loud bass music til 5 am. Even noise-cancelling headphones did not help
- there were only two shower+two bathrooms for all guests to share. Especially the showers had some fungus growing.
Overall, I do not recommend going to this hostel. And I am by no means picky!
