Gastama Hostel

I feel like it is a 10€ hostel, not a 20+€. You have to figure out everything for yourself, make your own bed, and the bathrooms were terrible in my opinion. The beds were comfortable, though, and the personal electric outlets, light, locker and curtain were very nice to have.

The bathrooms smelled of humidity, they felt dirty, and there was nowhere to place toiletries in the shower. The shower itself was a spray that went everywhere except over your head, so it was difficult to shower. I felt they were very uncomfortable. It seems under-staffed. There is only 1 person at reception (only staff I saw in a big big hostel) and in order to ask anything you have to wait for them to finish all check ins, check outs, etc. Was never able to get help from them. They didn't seem to eager to help either but I guess they are just busy. The lockers are very noisy, they dont stay open, so even if people want to be quiet it's very hard with that. No soap in the hand-washing basin. Have to make your own bed. I feel like it was very overpriced for what you get in return. Feels like a 10€ hostel, not a 25€ like I paid. They have too many beds and rooms with too little staff and bathrooms.
