Hostel Golden Gates in Kiev

We booked a two night stay in a room for 2 with two beds, but when we showed up the lady didn't seem to have her administration in order. She placed other guests in 'our' room. Luckily she had one room available still. When she opened that door I was disgusted with the sight of fluid stains on the sheets, beds and pillows. I assumed she was going to get new clean stuff, but nope!
We got a bunch of very old sheets that she said were clean. When I made up my bed however I saw bloodstains in them... awfully disgusting!
She asked us to pay straight away which was fine to me, but when we came back there the second day she wanted us to pay again... I'm used to pay for hotels in one go, so this was no nice surprise. Add to this a disgusting bathroom, floors that are so dirty you don't dare to walk in barefoot and the image is complete. Let's all boycott this place. This place is unworthy of the beauty that Kiev really does have to offer!

Very rude and unfriendly staff they didn't even help a lady with her daughter to use the internet to find another place to stay late in a cold night! Ugly apartment in ugly building

Criminal house. Never use here even though it's cheapest. They steal from foreign travelers, everything.
It was my first night in Kiev, but it ruined everything. At first night I stayed there, my weist bag was picked and stolen of many valuables including camera and tablet. According to locals who live and run same kind of hostel nearby, the theft is usual and the manager as well does the stealing cooperating other local stayers. Much more dangerous than staying outside. The guy who stays there for months and tall and thin from Odessa show me the knife telling me even lockers we can open easilly with it.
Also my many foods were stolen as well easilly. The house exists to steal from guests mainly from foreigners. No security exists. Must be arrested.
This hostel is actually the same with one step independence square hostel.
Additionally, the management of this hostel looks like prostitute: rude, easy to deceive, never manage around guest
They charged me without ecplaining beforehand, and never responsible about what happens in the accomodation only saying I don't know it's your responsible disguiding they can't speak English.
And I must say the photo of this place is almost fake.

After having this incident I went to the police nearby and got report and they are still investigating.
If you want to see the report from the police of course I can show you.

Now I can guess the owner has been changed since a few years ago because the furnitures and management inside are completely defferent as far as I see the pics of former one. Totally messy and no passion to run are the current state. Don't go closer now too dangerous.

Reception is aweful girl! Very rude! She did not give me a blanket and wanted me to look for it myself in the heap of something! When I asked for the help she told me to get out at 2 am. I don't advice it to anyone!
Horrible the girl at the reception! Very rude. She gave me a bed be sad rags on it. When I asked what it is and where my underwear, she asked me to find him myself(!) in a pile of rags on the other bed. When I asked for help , she told me to leave, so I stayed on the street at 2 am. Anyone not suggest this hostel.

Terrible! We booked and went the hostel for three people's room. But they said that they haven't. And now we haven't any room for accomodation because of this hostel..

Really bad hostel. Worst I have never booked. I booked an individual room, and when I arrive here is a 2x2 metres room. Only a bedroom and a desk. If you fall from the bed, you go out of the room. And it is not cheap, 36€ 4 nights. The receptionist are 2 women in the middle of a corridor, and they almost dont speak english.

Terrible place! Don't go! They scammed me!
