Hi there - thanks for your review - not of the hostel, but of outside the hostel. But let's be clear here - the faux guides as they are known are not located at the front door of the hostel as the whole point is that they will 'accompany' you to help you find the hostel and then demand money at the door. It is for this exact reason that when we send you a confirmation email, we offer you youtube directions, taxi transfer information, our local phone number, and offer to collect you from a cafe in the main square - none of which you chose to take us up on. This is of course, your choice, but is certainly a way of avoiding faux guides upon arrival in a city which is renowned for being full of anonymous alleyways. Happy future travels!

Hey, thanks for your kind review - we are really glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to host you again one day. Happy festive season to you and yours!
