Hostel Pushkin 10 in Tbilisi

BED BUGS. I stayed a week and saw some mosquitos, so I thought the bites I had were mosquito bites. Bed bug bites can take days to show up so I just didn’t know. But then I saw them. I told the owner and by his reaction it was obvious he knows. I’m quite pissed that he just said “ohh.. okay. Thank you” :/ I have over 50 bites on my body and feel absolutely miserable. I have never had chicken pox, but I would imagine it feels something like this. Plus, now have to go through the hassle of checking and sanitizing all my things (sorry for my unshaved leg, but here you are so this hopefully doesn’t happen to you.)

Do NOT stay here. I don’t know why it has such a high rating. The building itself is creepy as hell. I arrived at 5am and there was a guest in his boxers at the front desk. I was helped and shown my room in the 8 bed dorm. It looked like the had already been slept in. I left for the bathroom and when I came back the guy in his boxers was with the manager and he was shining his flashlight looking for more bed bugs. I looked at his bed and he had two dark red blood stains on his sheets from the bugs he had just killed. The manager said he could move to the top bunk. I didn’t feel comfortable at all. Between the creepy entrance, the musty smell, the other weird guests, the already slept in bed and now bed bugs. Hell NO!!!

The hostel itself is in a good location but transportation is cheap cheap and you’ll use transit to go to other places in the city anyway. Find a different place. Hostel 10 and Aleksandria are also in the same creepy building.
