Alessandro Palace & Bar

Worst Hostel Ever

Sometimes the wifi worked.

Everything else. My first room, something in the bathroom broke, meaning I had to go down and use the one through the bar. There was also a boiler tank left inexplicably in the corner constantly releasing air with a loud hiss. The second room had bed bugs. The manager told me the hostel would cover my visit to a laundromat nearby and gave me a new bed. Admittedly, that one seemed fine, but paranoia and itchiness still kept me awake. There was no suggestion upon checkout of any kind of refund, even partial, for my awful week. Also, the decor is terrible, the thin single sheet is the only thing changed in linen between guests, meaning it has to be awkwardly wrapped around you, and the staff make anyone who visits the bar without being a guest hand over their ids.
