🚫 Avoid this hostel at all costs! 🚫 This was one of the worst travel experiences I’ve ever had! A staff member from Portugal at reception scammed me for €10 “early check-in” and €5 luggage storage after checkout — later I found out there’s no such policy, he just pocketed the money. The beds are infested with bed bugs. After just one night, my wife’s arms and legs were covered in painful bites. Doors don’t lock from the inside; staff can open them anytime with their keys. Unsafe and untrustworthy. The entrance is dirty, with staff and others constantly blocking the way, smoking joints and making it uncomfortable to pass.

Abysmal service. Avoid at all cost unless cost

I can't begin to describe the filth in their toilets!!! The workers care less, not enforcing bed allocation. Found several bed bugs, bad carpet upholstery causing fall.

Everything about the Princess Hostel was a lie. From the pictures online, to the amenities. There was smoking of cigarettes & marijuana in the building. Remnants of both in the bedroom and the shared bathroom. There was a pair of socks left in our room and on the balcony. There was electrical hanging out of the wall. There was no toilet seat in the shared bathroom, and it looked as though it hadn't been cleaned ever. There stairs, walls, and floors were in horrible repair. There were 20 garbage bags on the landing for the stairs, which looked to be old laundry waiting to leave the building? All the pictures online for both Expedia and the Princess Hostel site look to be in very good repair, well painted, etc...but this looks like they staged one room, or the pictures are 10 years. Do not be misled by these photos, as nothing in the hostel looks like this. The front desk is cluttered and disorganized. When I approached the front desk about all these concerns, all I was told is there is no Refund, and I can stay, or look to book elsewhere. No discussion at all. This is the most unprofessional way to conduct business. And I'll be sure to share this review on every platform, as many times as I can to be sure everyone has this information!!!! I'm not happy with Expedia either. I emailed Expedia, and I didn't get any response. As well, they do not share any responsibility in trying to help attain a fair outcome for clients that book through the site. I'm VERY disappointed!!

Absolutely terrible experience

Absolutely terrible experience. The only reason i returned here is because it was the cheapest. Room was dirty with overflowing bin for 2 days, next to loud trams running late nights, bedding was clean but full of bedbugs, one was bloody and stained the bedsheets. When i asked them to change the sheet, they agreed but i returned to find the same blood stained sheet. Toilet was diabolical with with little pond all throughout the stay. Stairs and terrible carpeting in the building is always a disaster waiting to happen. Tripped and got bruised seriously. They had no first aid to assist. System is not uploading the other photos. And a video of bedbugs having a carnival on my bed.

Given it’s quite cheap to stay here, you do get what you pay for. The facilities are ok, but be careful with some of the shower and bathroom doors jamming.

The toilets are not regularly checked and tissues emptied. Same with the bin in our room, I had to ask for it to emptied on the 2nd day. Beds seem to be allocated randomly as I got in the room and my bed was already taken. Then i was told to take a different bed which was then allocated to another person who came and removed my belongings. People including your own staff smoking weed and cigarettes in front of the entrance despite notices. This is not healthy. Last few weeks, I left behind my waistcoat/vest and called immediately. I was told they'd ask housekeeping but no one had a record of my enquiry nor did they ask housekeeping. Lost item gone!

I loved the staff at this place. They were so helpful and were so kind to me. It is the people who stayed at this place that made me feel very unsafe. When I asked to change rooms on account of this, the staff did so immediately and tried to place me with only females (I am a solo-female traveler). Unfortunately, that could not happen, and I was once again placed in a situation where I felt very unsafe.

Avoid at all costs.

Terrible state of the room and without curtains. It’s not possible to sleep at all because the street light directly shot into the room and the hostel staff didn’t offer any help. And in the night, you can hear everything as the wall is paper thin. The toilet on the 3rd floor not working and good luck to the shower too. We stayed at room 302 which does t haven’t curtains. Very bad smell of the room. People previously stayed must smoke weed in the room.
