The owner was not welcoming at all. I was greeted with a frowned expression. he just rudely told me that I could not check in before 2:00 p.m. He told me if I arrived so early (10:00a.m.),I should have booked the room for the previous night. This way he could let us check in now. What an useful advice.
I asked if I could sit in the breakfast area for a while to wait for my friend, as there is no such thing as a lobby on the ground floor. Then he became angry again, "you want to sit in the breakfast area? Then what about the people who want to have breakfast? Where are they going to sit? If everyone is like you, come early and sit in the breakfast area, then the people cannot have breakfast!" Well, if the breakfast area could not accommodate an average size girl, he could have told me politely.
At 7:00p.m., we returned to the hostel but mistakenly rang the bell, the woman on duty appeared and was outrageous about it. We asked her if they could call a taxi tomorrow morning for us but she refused.
Later we were locked inside the room as the lock was too rusty that it could not be opened. Our neighbour went down stairs to get the help from the hostel staff but no one showed up. Eventually we had to throw the key from under the room door so that our neighbour could open the lock from outside.
All the hostel staff were Spanish and they could not speak English well. If you have any problem, pray to god. I am sure god would respond to your request faster than they do.
