Backpackers Las Eras

No staff,check in was abit complicated as I didn’t get info prior

The cleanliness in the bathroom was less than desirable and the lack of privacy wasn’t the best

On the other side It has many negative aspects. First of all it's not a hostel, as it's Just the Power floor of the owners' apartment, there are literally no common areas (and for me It was very important as I work remotely and need to have at least a confortable table) and no staff at all. Second, there we're no sheets! For this price I think it's unaceptable... like a useless plastic sheet on the matress that wouldn't stay put during the night and a light blanket (had to use 2 of them for the seabreeze). The kitchen only has a water boiler and a microwave and the funniest things. And funniest thing: the cleaning lady doesn't actually have a schedule so on the bathroom there's a ban saying "bathroom closed from 10:30 to 13:30", how can you possibly close the only bathroom for costumers for 3 hours lol

During our stay there were little flies everywhere. The floor, beds and everything else was covered with dead ones.

I wrote this to the owner - Your money driven decision making and your lack of responsibility is abhorrent. I have travelled the world but I can honestly say, that staying in this hostel was the worst experience I have ever had and it was actually only because of meeting two great people and that the WiFi was good that I continued my stay. You are greeted with a Big Brother style camera system - no reception staff. You have bad lighting so people can not see on the outside to enter the property. You have bad lighting on the inside of the property so a wrong turn before the lighting system comes into effect and you would tumble down that ridiculous narrow staircase. The door mechanism to the room is mal functioning, locking people out. You are then greeted with a big brother camera system where I am shouted at to push the door after the code did not open the door. I wrote this to the owner - In disbelief, I am standing there at the bottom of an illegal staircase with all of my luggage, being told to push the door, then to knock the door. You even send me a message the next day asking if I am in the apartment as a guest is locked out. It would be funny if it wasn’t such a bad joke. And I wrote this- Your fly infested dwelling where your adorable cleaning lady tries to spray with fly killer while poisoning us all with pesticide is again a very bad joke. You have an infestation of these insects and the tourist board would close you down upon visit. But interestingly, I did see there was no VV outside not was there anything to say this place was a hostel. Your toilet flush button is broken, it is impossible not to be stabbed in the finger to flush the toilet. The fact you expect 6 people to share and live in this ridiculous space is again laughable. There is two teaspoons, one knife, two tiny sharp knives for cutting bread. No oven, no hob, very bad storage where you are forced to walk around your belongings as there is nowhere else to store your luggage.
