READ - I HAD AN UNUSAL EXPERIENCE AT THE HOSTEL
- I arrived late (Ryanair diverted my plane mid air to another airport) I messaged on WhatsApp & Airbnb & rang about 11.00pm as soon as the plane landed. There was no response.
When I arrived I had to pay 10€ which I expected but was told by the host (the host was not Ciprian but maybe Ciprians relative) that Ciprian was angry that I rang at a late hour and arrived late and he would have liked to have known sooner. Again I can not see into the future, im English but not Harry Potter. I assumed because this is a busy hostel and people are flying from all over this is not uncommon that people may arrive at a time unexpected. Due to this I didn’t feel very welcome.
The next day the ‘’host’’ told me to make up for the 10€, that we could have spaghetti together in the evening that night. I found this creepy and this made me feel uncomfortable.
My last day in the hostel I said goodbye to the final roommate and he came back in again to tell me that the host had asked ‘Where is your room?’ Is that girl alone now in the room?’ (I was). I think this is a very strange thing to ask and it made me feel scared for my safety - fortunately my friend waited with me so I could leave with him and not be alone.
As a young girl travelling alone I am just pleased I made friends with such caring room mates.
