The location is in, good guests in the hostel. Possible to cook and to use fridge. 1. I did not like at all how the receptionist/manager (Serik) visually harasses me, literally undressing my whole body with his eyes, while talking to me, it's felt like he's choosing a female slave at a medieval slave market. He was also asking me if I have a boyfriend or if I wanna go out with him (other female visitors complained about the same thing) and I think it's not acceptable behavior, if I was alone I wouldn't feel safe there due to this reason. FYI the female "room" is a space behind a curtain aside walking area and if curtain is open or not closed properly everyone can see you. 2. There was no water since the second day of my stay and the manager and the owner didn't really care about it recommending us to visit public baths somewhere in the city instead. Btw neighbors did have water but the hostel didn't bother themselves to bring water for toilet needs at least so everyone has to manage themselves going for toilet or for washing face or for brushing teeth at gas stations or cafés which are pretty far (imagine if you're a lady in period). And yes it meant no way to cook or to make tea/coffee. But they persistently reminded us to pay them for the next night each day like nothing happened. I tolerated 2 nights more and then I left the hostel without paying for 3rd night. 3. I wouldn't say it's clean. There's a rat you can meet at night somewhere around the kitchen. I had doubts that the bedding set they provide to me was clean because I could see some hair on it. Also, there was a cat poo on the topchan near the entrance they didn't remove for the whole day. PS: Honestly it doesn't worth at all even 5 usd with such conditions
