York B&B

This is the worst hostel I’ve ever been to. Don’t set a foot there, you’ll regret it. The room doesn’t have a window! It looks like a cell in a prison. The bathroom is filthy, not like: haha the maiden lost a hair when she cleaned it, but like: there is hair clogging the drain, which Hagrid left there in September 2001. Also it looks like the Place the Dursleys were hiding from him. Next thing: it’s incredibly loud. You can hear people sneezing 3 floors upstairs. Even the wood in the room is loud, it’s like you’re walking on broken bones. When people are walking in the hall, you might as well join their conversation, because you can hear every word clearly as if you’re standing next to them. Last thing, which really broke the straw: they put up 3 bottles of water for you in the room, just a bottle on the nightstand. You could think it’s because of the altitude and to help you acclimate. When you drink it, you have to pay 20 bs for it. Not a big deal, if we knew upfront. But no, they just give it to you like a nice gesture and just don’t tell you, you’re supposed to pay.

Location was good - that is literally all that is good about this place

Water was either boiling or frozen and smelled like poo, the cleaners did not come in for two days (GROSS given you put toilet paper in a tiny bin), also meaning we had to beg for more toilet paper - which the staff were really snooty about asking 'did we really need it?' (sure, I'm just asking for fun), also they would not even give us clean sheets to change the bed ourselves over the days the cleaners didn't come in, there are weird glass bricks connecting rooms meaning if the light is on in another room it'll wake you up, and the cherry on top of the cake - at one point someone managed to enter our room while we were sleeping with a key that wasn't even for our room (travelled as a couple but if I had been alone I would have completely freaked out)

Zero storage in room, could add hooks?? Noise from reception - the receptionist was playing his music till 12. There are clear blocks in the wall which means when a room close to you turns their light on you may as well have yours on.
