I used to believe hostel are shaped by fellow travelers. I was wrong. Here, it’s the admin — specifically Lady-Ludmila — that ruins it.
During my 1st stay, I poured coffee from a thermos that was next to the kettle in the shared kitchen, assuming it was communal. The next morning, I was falsely accused of theft. Ludmila escalated the situation, rallying long-term guests (mostly Ukrainians) into a mob, hurling insults and racial slurs. I had to call the police to stop the aggression. I stand 6 feet tall, and ex-military, and that was my only recourse (ask yourselves why?). Unsurprisingly, Ludmila disappeared once the police were on the way. And the thermos owner, was like oh, sorry, all is good now. (they tried to extort me for money before this)
This wasn’t the first clash — the day before, she tried to evict me from a common area mid-breakfast to give the table to others. I refused, calmly but firmly.
I returned Oct 5th for 2-nights that were prepaid, bringing my own huge mug & coffee to avoid more issues. I sat quietly under a camera all day working. Yet, when someone’s charger went missing, Ludmila again accused me without evidence. Owner upon arrival asked me to leave..
This place operates in paranoia and bias, not hospitality. As a local, I was treated worse than a stranger. Avoid this place unless you want a headache. Only thing you hear all day, is the sound of a mad woman, screaming. At that age, how is it even possible, must be the boredom - to the point of TEDIUM!!
