Breakfast
Rooms
Located in a convenient and quiet area, the hostel provides easy access to nearby attractions, making it a well-positioned option for travelers. Despite being part of a student dormitory setting, the rooms maintain a level of simplicity that appeals to budget-conscious guests looking for basic accommodation. Additionally, the staff's assistance and the quiet environment add to the hostel's appeal.
However, the hostel does have its drawbacks. Many rooms are described as outdated with old furniture, cracks in the walls and a need for general renovation. Cleanliness is inconsistent with some guests reporting dusty floors, stained linens and an overall feeling of neglect. Comfort issues include rooms being hot without air conditioning or fans, noisy due to thin walls and having basic facilities that might not meet all guests' expectations. Due to the lack of lifts, guests staying on higher floors may find it inconvenient.
While Ostello AMDG may not suit those looking for modern, cozy accommodations, it does offer a practical solution for travelers interested in an affordable, spacious stay with good basic amenities and a fantastic location.

Some visitors did note that their beds were comfortable and praised the availability of blankets and power outlets nearby. However, these positive comments are overshadowed by the widespread dissatisfaction. Complaints also include issues like thin pillows and bedding and some found the beds to be too small or narrow.
Overall, while there are occasional remarks about comfortable beds and clean bedding, the consensus appears to be that Ostello AMDG needs to significantly improve the quality and condition of its beds to provide a better experience for its guests.
Cleanliness
However, some reviews pointed to inconsistency in the cleaning standards. A number of guests reported rooms and bathrooms not being as clean as expected with issues like dust, mold, hair on floors and unclean linen. Bathrooms, in particular, seemed to fluctuate in cleanliness levels with occasional mentions of sewer smells and poor maintenance. The cleanliness in the common areas sometimes fell short with some guests encountering untidiness and accumulated dust.
The hostel's building, described as old and sometimes rundown, may contribute to its varying cleanliness standards. Mold, broken fixtures and an old infrastructure added to the challenges of maintaining high cleanliness levels throughout the property. Despite these issues, the accommodation's affordability and convenient location remain attractive to budget travelers.
Staff
Despite these positive remarks, there are contrasting opinions about the consistency of service. A recurring issue was the lack of responsiveness to emails and communication attempts prior to arrival. Some guests experienced unwelcoming and rude encounters, especially with specific receptionists. There were also mentions of staff being unavailable or not present at the desk, leading to inconveniences during check-in and other interactions.
However, the majority of guests still highlighted the staff’s friendliness and eagerness to assist, making their stays more comfortable. Efforts by personnel to provide clean accommodations and respond quickly to onsite inquiries were appreciated, though the need for improved communication and consistent presence was evident.
