Hostel Moravia — Hotel in okres Ostrava-město

I don't think I've ever stayed anywhere quite like the Hostel Moravia Ostrava.

My single room was ENORMOUS with plenty of wardrobe space, a sofa and a large table.

The room was tastefully decorated - with even an antique mirror table - as indeed was the corridor outside and the whole hotel. There was a sign on the door that the place has been active since 1850 or similar.

There was free shower gel and even slippers provided.

The owner was great and nothing was too much trouble for her.

Yet the toilet and shower are in the corridor, the accommodation calls itself a hostel not a hotel, there is a kitchen for guests hostel-style, reception is only open from 4pm to 8pm (save for special requests) and when leaving you leave your keys in a drawer near the empty reception.

Is it a hostel or a hotel? It's both and neither.

The place is a stone's throw from the main train station and 10 minutes from the centre by frequent tram.

I paid 797 crowns/€31.50...

Stayed here for 11 nights during the IIHF World Juniors Hockey Championship with 4 people staying in the Quadruple room. Early communication with the managers went well, however on arrival we realized that the hostel was a dump.

The blinds on the windows don't work, everything in the shared kitchen got stolen (on multiple occasions), and there was absolutely no atmosphere as you would expect in a hostel during a busy time like this. No events, no common areas, just nothing.

We were only given 1 set of keys (4 of which were needed to get in).

I've stayed in hostels all over the world and this has to be the worst I've ever...
