TL;DR: Covid outbreak at the hostel and management covered it up I strongly advise against choosing this hostel for your stay. I contracted COVID during my stay at the hostel, which management tried to conceal to protect their profits, and I was promptly evicted with less than 24 hours' notice. Despite the hostel’s initial offer to isolate in a different room, management called me in the night while I was quarantining to abruptly kick me out for being transparent about my situation with people I initially shared a room with. Management feared losing money over people understanding the health situation in the establishment. They prioritized their financial interests over the health and safety of their guests, going so far as to immediately delete my message informing others that I had Covid and remove me from the WhatsApp group chat. The management's actions revealed a blatant disregard for guest safety, even resorting to threats of involving the police when I insisted on staying isolated while looking for a new place. This hostel is a breeding ground for Covid as they keep their guests in the dark about the risks. For anyone seeking a safe and inclusive accommodation option, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere, especially if you want to avoid the risk of contracting COVID and especially not those in my circumstances as a LGBTQ+ individual in need of a safe and supportive environment. As a first-time traveler overseas and to the United States, arriving from Belgium with no support network in a foreign country, the purposeful misgendering and transphobia by this hostel's management, and complete lack of empathy and understanding of my unique situation, only added to the distress I experienced during my stay. I was bullied out of an accommodation I had fully paid for in trying to keep the hostel's own guests safe.
