Youth Station Hostel

The host is great. The beds are clean, and everyone was super friendly. The hostel is right next to a good supermarket and great restaurants and pizzerias. I’ve stayed in Rome before, so this was def the best hostel. I’d def return. Really good kitchen! Daje! 🔝

This must be one of the worst hostels I've ever been. Also, there was an issue with my booking (I let you guys judge who's right or wrong). Details at the end (long story). Pros: friendly staff (except the manager), good location (next to metro, and supermarket), and in the quiet neighbourhood. Cons: shower: doesn't work and broken. I stayed in two rooms and both have some issues. Noisy: the manager kept checking people in after midnight, in and out of the room several times. Room: no ladder for the 8-bed mixed room; they provided one chair for me to climb up (a chair is not high enough and very slippery). Issue: Both hostelworld and hotels had the same price for 6 bed mixed dorm, and I booked through hotels for point accumulation for 3 nights. When I checked in, they didn't have my reservation, so the male reception (very apologetic) moved me to 8 bed temporarily, and said would moved me the next day. No availability next day. But, on my last night, the female reception said I could now moved to 6 bed one. I said it's unfair as I paid 6-bed from beginning, and there is no point of moving on my last night, and I asked to be refunded for the difference. The manager came and said my booking didn't specify how many beds (yup, this is ********** fault), and said it's my fault not booking through hostelworld. So, my argument is so the hostel can put you to another room regardless of how much you paid, and not on the equivalent value of

So all in all I had a good experience during my stay. However, the only problem was their shady cash transaction. They didn't accept a credit card and insisted that I pay in cash (which costed me more forex). Secondly , they just gave me a pay slip for a different date, and did not even bother giving me a proper invoice. It maybe a decent place but not very professional in terms of their management. Don't book if you're travelling on business.

The place was moist and smelled like mould. The host came in to our room of all girls several times in the night to talk or ask questions, using his key card. Very uncomfortable. Came in when we were sleeping, in pjs, and when we had showered. Even poked a girl who was sleeping. Would not recommend.
