My First Hostel Experience – A Complete Nightmare This was my very first experience staying in a hostel – and unfortunately, it turned into a complete nightmare. Exactly what I was afraid of happened: I, a young woman, was placed in a room with five adult men. I was the only female in the room. As soon as I walked in, the room had a strong, unpleasant smell. I felt extremely unsafe and uncomfortable. I ended up crying and decided not to stay the night. Instead, I checked into another hotel while I waited for the staff to resolve the situation. What I find especially disrespectful is that they thought it was okay to put a young girl in an all-male room with men over 40, some of them made inappropriate comments toward me. How anyone thought that was a good idea is beyond me. I’m still traumatized by the experience and would never return to this hostel. To make things worse, the bathroom was filthy and had mold.

The wood pods are unsleepable. Bad air circulation. Pictures look way better online than in real life. I left my pod after 15 mins and never came back and will never come back.
