Debod Hostel

Short overnight stay. Convenient. Not more.

Good location, clean room, quiet, carring staff.

The property is in a good location - appears safe with good shops/restaurants nearby and walkable to main attractions. The staff were helpful - bed was comfortable and the bathrooms clean - the water doesnt get very hot. These are not seperate rooms - it is one big L shaped room with all the bunks together. Stayed in a Deluxe double bunk - unsure what the duluxe part means? Was a light with a USB port but did not appear to be different from any other bunk. With been a deluxe bunk thought that it may come with a complimentary towel/lock (Towel €2) if required but did not, so again unsure why deluxe. It also faces on to the street so you get the light and noise from the street. It is also near the entrance to dorm area and you can hear all the noise from the lounge area. The bunks are also warm and the weather when we stayed was cool so unsure how it would be in hotter weather. Very small kitchen area with no real facilities, although is a kettle and fridge. No sink for washing up.

I am so disappointed. To all students or anyone staying here, please be careful and always ask questions and for clarifications if something seems suspicious. I was so excited for this experience, but I have a feeling I got scammed. My stay was from June 21st - June 24th and I made the payment in March. When I arrived, a tall man with glasses claimed that I hadn’t paid, so I had to pay on the spot but that the issue will get resolved the next day and they will guarantee me my money back. 2 weeks later, I haven’t received my refund. I contacted them today to see if they resolved the issue, and I kept receiving stalled messages and a hung up phone mid sentence. This is so upsetting, so disappointing. I’ll have to contact Expedia to see if there are any alternatives solutions for this problem.

The staff is super! very nice folks and the property was clean. There is no separate room for girls. They use a foldable room divider to separate the girls-only section from the mixed section. As a single female traveler that wasn´t ideal. Also, the bathroom was a mixed shared bathroom with individual stalls. As a girl, this hostel is good if you are not traveling alone.
