La Perla de Lujo - Hostel

Everything ok

This was by far the worst hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The posting is very misleading as the hostel doesn’t look anything like the photos provided. There is no signage or indication of the hostel from the street. You have to knock on a door and you’re let into what looks like someone’s personal kitchen. There's a small, dirty kitchen with the owners sitting in folding chairs, 2 dorms, and 2 bathrooms. Both dorms are extremely crammed in with almost no space. Your head will be directly against someone’s foot in an adjacent bed. Any time someone moves the entire bunk bed structure shakes violently. The entire hostel is infested with bugs and mold. Turning the light on in the bathroom and kitchen during the night, I was surprised to see dozens of insects scatter. There are dead bugs smashed into the ceiling. Additionally, there’s no lock on the hostel door so anyone from the street can walk in any time. You are not given a key. There is nowhere to store your belongings as well. Very unsafe. When I stayed, there was a woman who appeared to be homeless awake from 3:30 to 7:30 in the morning loudly cooking in the kitchen, producing a putrid and rotting smell of meat throughout the entire hostel. I have video and photo evidence of mold covering ceilings, insects, and intolerable living conditions. I will be seeking out a refund from Expedia. This is an absolute embarrassment to the platform and I’m sure violates many Spanish health codes.

O have been living for 15 years in Madrid and relocate to France.Back in the city for some administrative issue i have to find a place to sleep.As it was week end all prices were high. So i end up booking this place as it was the cheapest. Trust me in my whole time in Madrid i have never seen a place worst than this. As a new immigrant to Spain in the 90' i had to sleep in shelters(Simancas) but there were much more clean and better than this place. Honnestly this place is not a hostel it is A IMMIGRANTS ,HOMELESS AND DRUG ADDICTS WHO PERMANENTLY LIVE IN MADRID SHELTER. They would probably pay 10€ if they can afford to have a bed an some water to take a bath in a while. The place is a garage turn in 2 rooms .One room has 12 people-4 beds of 3 places and the other 9 people. Only 2 toilets. The place smell (shoes and people farting at night). Atop of that you have fleas all over. Honestly for free i would not sleep there . I stay seated the whole night and at 10 oclock i left and throw the clothes i have on. In the metro i continue to kill fleas.

Arnaque!! À fuir!! Ne correspond en rien au descriptif!

Buena.
