Dirty rooms with horribly dirty and uncomfortable beds. The showers and bathrooms are the worst part. Pee covered and unsterile is just a nice way to describe half of the gross condition of the toilets and showers.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was very dirty, lots of flies as the bin hadn't been emptied from the last guests and the carpet was very stained, with rubbish bags and bags of bedding up all the way up the already steep stairs. There was a group of people being turned away last minute as we arrived and we had to fill out a check in form despite already having to do online check in forms which provided the same information. There was also only cold water for showers and hand washing, and then the water cut out entirely when we returned in the evening and wasn't reinstated until morning. This was difficult as my partner and I became quite ill and weren't able to get to reception to purchase water so ended up very dehydrated. Water should have been provided to the rooms in bottles during the cut.

My stay was the worst I've had of anywhere I've stayed. Within the room, the floors, sink and walls were dirty. The bathrooms were dirty and ran out of toilet paper quickly. The curtains were missing, which meant I had to turn off the lights to change (to not be viewed by others on the streets and in buildings across the street). The first day the internet/entire system went down and I wasn't able to access my keys, and the code I was given was wrong. I wasn't able to do work or use the internet at all. The second day the water went out which meant that the toilets didn't flush and the sink didn't work. This meant guests were using the bathroom and unable to flush. I will never stay here again.

🚫 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.

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.
