    it was fine. it was clean there was a warm bed, that's it. not really a "hostel" experience, no locks for things or a checkin or staff. honestly it should be like 10-15€ but it's a warm place to sleep and everything was clean i'd give it like 3 stars

    It wasn’t clean at all and the shower stopped working. They fixed it, but then it was either burning hot or freezing cold. We also got locked out at some point because the pins were changed for the code. Our ground floor window also did not lock

    The beds were comfy

    The bed had crumbs in it and the sheets clearly hadn't been changed, luckily we'd brought a sleeping bag liner so we didn't have to touch the duvet or sheet and we put a t shirt over the pillowcase. Back door was wide open and access from the back door via the street outside was a little concerning. (Just a short fence that you wouldn't need to jump to get over) I think we were the only people there, literally no staff or other guests. Shortly before we left we noticed some clean sheets on a shelf in a storage room just left of the communal kitchen so if you do stay then you could always change the sheets yourself.

    The location was excellent, a short busride from the city centre and just round the corner from a really nice coffee shop and all the people we met in the small village couldn't have been nicer. At 25 per person just book the single bunk bed room and you've got a room that easily sleeps 4 people for 50 quid a night. Not bad.

    The room itself was good, however we had a very uncomfortable experience. One of the other residents made my friend and I very uncomfortable, and tried to break into our room to get to us multiple times, but after messaging the host telling him exactly what happened and simply requesting for confirmation that our room code is private and letting him know that we were too scared to go to the bathroom, the host never answered us. We would’ve expected to be supported by the host, and by not getting that, and not feeling safe, it ruined our stay at Fernando’s.

    It was a good location near a bus stop and we had a private room which was nice

    Bathroom/shower did not lock, neither could the window in the room and the door leading to the back garden. A pile of nail clippings were on the dresser. Throughout the entirety of our stay, the owner did not respond to WhatsApp messages or calls, especially when I was trapped in the bathroom.

    There was no common area which wasn't really a problem for us since we had booked a room for 2 people and so had some space to ourselves. A small table and chairs in the room would have been appreciated. Also, a dishtowel in the kitchen would have been handy.

    Very friendly and helpful host, good location

    The location was convenient as it was right next to the bus links for the city centre. Room was clean and had good storage space.

    It was very dirty. It was disgusting to shower or even brush your teeth. They don't change the codes so people who have stayed before can get in even if they are not paying. It is dangerous and I do not recommend it at all.

    MANAGMENT SADLY LACKING...TO SAY THE LEAST!
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Single Bed in Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 7 nights

    Day 1 - Upon check-in, found dirty bedclothes, with pubic hair to be seen; no pillow case on pillow. Upon enquiring from other guests, it was said there had been a man in the bed, who hadn't checked out on time. Day 2 - From 09:00am - 2:45pm, no electricity for the entire day, until cleaning staff arrived and reported the matter. With no Internet access, as a result of the power cut, and no way to contact Management by telephone, as the tel. no. provided by the property is not valid, it was not possible for the guest to report the matter. Newly checked-in guest believed there were towels as part of the reservation, and had to use a T-shirt as a bath towel, as there was not a single towel on-site and certainly no staff to give him one, had there been any. Incidentally, there is no bath tub on-site, as advertised by the property - only a shower. Consequently, there was no security whatsoever, as the front door access coded lock works only by electricity, and does not lock behind a guest, once there is power cut; one guest found to be shaving in the dark in bathroom; work emails unable to be sent, research unable to be undertaken and legal responses unable to be provided. According to another guest, this was the second time this had happened, whereby there had been no electricity in the house. Day 3 - A previous guest, one who was barred from this property, aswell as from the nearby sister property; after staying at Fernando's Place the previous night, with no booking, it was stated, gained direct access to the room the only female guest in the house was booked into, which requires a keycode to enter. Day 5 - New guest to the room found dirty sheets on the bed, upon going to bed at midnight that night, and had to change the entire bedclothes. Day 6 - Once again, from 9am - 3pm, no electricity for the entire day, until 'cleaning' staff arrived to the property and reported the matter to Management.
