This hostel has the same vibe as salvation army hostel I Mumbai but this one is supposed to be a partyhostel. The rooms are okay and the commonroom is really good, but the kitchen sucks. It is really cheap to sleep here but a beer cost 28 pesos which does it to a expansive place if u want to party... More

This was the only hostel we could book when we arrived in Palermo, and we found out why. The staff are lovely and really helpful and I feel for them wotking in such a dump, they have tried to make it better but the place is in a terrible state of disrepair and the owners should be ashamed of what...

This is the worst hostel I have ever stayed at, even though it's the only one. The hostel is in a good location, but that's about the only good thing about this place. Once you get inside, it's like you're going back in time or maybe to like a third world country. The bathrooms were dirty, the rooms were small,... More

This hostel was awful. 9 dorm beds were crammed in a room that was too small for even 4. The hostel was filthy and felt totally seedy. I think the only people staying there were completely high all day long and that is the only reason the could tolerate it. BA is a beautiful city with far better budget options. More

I was bitten by bugs for 3 nights despite swapping beds. Another girl was covered all over her face from one night. The lounge area could be great but was really dirty. There was an untrained dog which wasnt walked, so there was dog poo on the balcony and sometimes nipped guests. The staff were generally unhelpful. Swedish receptionist had... More

On arrival the reception guy was not able to find my reservation that was has been confirmed by mail just three days earlier. After all this was a lucky fact, as I would have liked to stay there anyway. - Lazy, unorganied staff - Strange, even a bit hostile atmosphere - many guest dranken at at 10am - Dirty overall... More

Disgustingly dirty with rude staff and super noisy until early morning and EVERY night!. It is unbelievable to see the amount of dirt and dust in the hostel. Staff is rude and only cares about getting drunk and spending the day doing nothing on the roof terrace. The only "decent" thing in the hostel are the murales on the walls,... More

Although we had booked and payed (!) 3 nights in this hostel well in advance, they had managed to loose our reservation. Arriving at 2 am from the airport and hearing that the staff cannot find the reservation is not a fun thing. For the first 2 nights they luckily still had a room for us, but it hadn't been... More

This is the worst place I have ever stayed. I stayed for 9 days, and during this time my bedsheets were changed once - and even that was only because the maid thought I was moving out! I asked the maid to change my sheets more often, and she just shot me an angry look. The bed frames are frail,... More

Terrible. Dirty rooms and bed sheets, dirty bathrooms too. Lots of drug use here, staff and guests. The place should come with a health warning. If you´re going to stay in Palermo, pay extra for somewhere better. More
