Gar'is Hostel Kyiv in Kiev

Dear customers,
please avoid this hostel due to the lack of common sense and poor management. My mother was staying at this hostel on 6/26/2016. She is an old lady and really needed some sleep before her transatlantic flight. the first problem, when she was booking this hostel, she was warned that rooms were coed. second, once she went to sleep one of the guys was such a load snorer, she politely asked the guy to maybe lay on his other side because noone else could sleep. in response he (30 y.o american guy) HIT HER AND DID THIS AGAIN ONCE SHE WENT BACK TO SLEEP. then he shook her bed in the next 30 min. once she went to ask for some help from the reception - they didnt address the violence, they actually gave a better accommodation to this guy who physically hit my mother. I can understand that maybe for them - foreigners bring more money than locals, and I am outraged with their choices - i think i would have called the police! and believe me maybe she should have gone to the receptionist better - to let the management tell the guy he was bothering his roommates. HOWEVER THERE IS NO EXCUSES FOR TOLERATING VIOLENCE FROM THE BETTER PAYING CUSTOMERS.

NEVER AGAIN

Nasty people. Farm animals stay here. Pigs! Homeless unemployed Ukrainians living here for over 6 months. They drink cheap spirits & smoke marijuana with the night staff girls. Long-term guests acting as if they're in their mommy's basement. Younger female night staff on permanent mental vacation without sufficient work ethic allow stoner losers to get away with bloody murder! Fire lazy employees & give the boot to long term slackers. Someone needs to call their parents. Messy sewer & incompetence! Unbelievable! Real backpackers beware! You're in for a scare!
