SM Hostel

Good
Traveller Type:
  : Price, location, a lot of space, kitchen where you can cook, towels, hairdryer, etc
  : Room isn't possible to close, not very clean, not enough working sockets

Disappointing
Traveller Type: Solo Traveler
  : Very sketchy looking hostel, never again.. I booked a women's room, since that was an option, and upon arrival I was placed in a room that had "male" on a sign, the "receptionist" claiming it's okay, there's no men guests, just some family with kids - which I guess was right judging by some small clothes and shoes on the floor, although I couldn't really see anything properly as the room only had a big overhead lighting and no smaller ones for guests arriving one by one to lit to be able to settle, and me being polite I didn't want to wake anyone up by switching a big bright light on.. another thing were the showers, mixed, and when I wanted to take it I heard multiple men voices chatting from behind the door, went on for a while so I had to take my shower in the morning, since I had no desire to shower with who knows what guys lurking around :-/ the place was pretty much clean, but that's the only positive thing I have to say about that place, an unpleasant experience overall, I was happy to get out as early as possible!

  : Bathroom

Poor
Traveller Type:
  : Let me start by saying that the location of this is not good, it takes about twenty-five minutes to walk to the city center, so please consider that. Then, to my dismay the sanitary conditions, all three bathrooms were dirty and had a very strange smell, it felt like they hadn't been cleaned in a long time and I didn't even want to use him. The sheets in my room were freshly changed, but there was some dirt on the sheets from who knows where, like some kind of residue. The heater in the room was far from the bed and the room was a little cold. The most frustrating thing was that I was not told the code to the front door in time, so at 2:00pm we came back from watching the aurora borealis and couldn't get into the room to rest, we were locked out for half an hour, we called for half an hour with no answer, and then finally we met someone who hadn't gone to bed yet and opened the door for us. The experience was terrible, very!

  : Filthy place. They don't wash the sheets, they spray it with a disinfectant. The place smelt musty and was dirty. Bathrooms and shower were gross. You get what you pay for here

Very Poor

  : Nothing.
  : The accommodation was the worst I have ever been to. If it would be possible, I ask for a refund. Everything was dirty, the sheets were extremely dirty, even with blood stains. There was noise and a bad smell. Would not recommended at all, we should read reviews more carefully and at different sources. Extremely overpriced for the quality you get. I do not understand how Booking.com can allow this.
