Reviews
It boiled over to write a review, because the other day we did not have the opportunity to either have breakfast or drink tea.
Well, now to the room. Firstly, when they called for the first time, the price was 10 thousand more than the one we learned upon arrival. What is it? Negligence? Okay. Well, in the room we have one bed, a curbstone and two chairs. + hanger, thank you so much. A TV that is older than us. No table, no wardrobe. And just one working outlet. For people of our generation with various necessary gadgets, especially for study, this is more than enough. Well, okay, they would take a tee, but where is the wi-fi mentioned in the description of the hostel?
Not only do we pay a lot of money for absolutely NOTHING, so also the laundry is paid here.
Well, the cleaning conditions are magical. They did not even consider it necessary to buy a bucket for water, instead of it a huge bucket of emulsion for 50 liters of commercials.
Shoes must be removed right at the entrance. You stand and untie your laces for two hours, trying to keep your balance, but for some reason local guests can go out in the so-called ‘house slippers’ around the city.
Speaking of the 🚿 soul. Here you should be lucky, because if you came later than the local workers, then don't expect hot water. Ariston is not rubber. Come in the morning if you're lucky.
In general, it's a pity for the money, because for the same price there are places, with much better conditions (even with a toilet in the room). Elementary and you will not find an iron.
Of the advantages, I liked the tateshki here. And the owner is a good person. Aunt Zhamal treated children like that. Nicely. I always answered questions, and constantly said ‘don’t leave this, don’t leave that’, ‘when you leave, put your slippers in a bag so that no one puts on’ - a la the best advice. But even so, this does not cover all the shortcomings.
And so there is no comfort, and the fear of leaving food in the refrigerator. Light - dim): And in general there was a case when in the evening there was once again no light, one man opened the door and looked inside until I gave a voice. Then I went to the kitchen with a quick step and I never found out who it could be. In general, it is not safe for a girl.
Well, they gave the money for nothing, and even I think it would be fair to beg 20-30% of the amount back. Moving out now is too expensive (6k night turns out) We are waiting for the end of April
Update: today I found out that our expensive paid washing machine does not handle more than three kg, does not heat water and does not squeeze out. And it turned out that if you washed light things - give 300tg, now you wash dark ones - give another 300tg.
Don't have A/C but don't need.
And every staff and host are so kind.
Everything is good. Just try.
