As a place to crash for a night, perhaps, this isn't the worst. If you stay here for any length of time though, you will find this cheerful sign: "Welcome to your pocket bathroom". And it will haunt your dreams.

The beds are fine. The food and coffee are fine. The common areas are loud and fine. The no outside food policy is moderately infuriating if you have dietary restrictions but livable.

But the pocket bathrooms are an idea straight out of hell. Modular, made out of plastic, poorly ventilated, and approximately the size of an awkward hug between distant relatives who dislike each other, these contraptions rapidly become disgusting and frustrate your every move. Even brushing your teeth is an ordeal when a "helpful" shelf hovers just over a head's height from the sink, meaning you will have to turn your head sideways and wedge it right into a gross and often stained affair.

Without a doubt the singularly worst hostel experience I've had so far, but at least the beds were solid and I'd say of decent quality.
