ホステル モルチッチ リー(Hostel Morcic RI)

Perfect hostel located in the city center. Everything was clean and well maintain. Friendly owner who made sure that everything is up to standards. WIFI was either weak or non existing, but Croatian phone services have plenty of affordable options so it wasn't a problem for me. I'll definitely book it again.

When we first got to the hostel we tried calling both numbers on the website, but neither of them were in use. Buy luck we got into the hostel because another couple was leaving, but there were still nobody in the reception. Finally the host answered on email that he would be there in 20 min. He got there after more than one hour and he was also drunk. He did not apologies for being late. Further more there were some more problems: - No air conditioning or Wi-Fi (which there should be according to the web site) - Only one towel in the room (we asked for one more and the host said we would get one in one hour but we never got one) - We booked a double bed but the bed we got was two single beds put together with a big gap in between so we had to sleep in different beds. We were really surprised concidering all the good reviews that this place got, maybe they changed owner recently??

Internet advertised. None present. This due to "new door system" Was told to use city Internet, that didn't work inside the hostel. They accept credit cards on paper, but again the receptionist said no. As much as one would need the receptionist, he's almost never there. Then the fact that there is no A/C in the room I was assigned, but presumably there is in others. The excuse: No A/C "because of Corona"

I had booked this hostel for a week via booking. On arrival the hostel was closed. I used the telephone contact that was advised. But the phone was just hang up. I have contacted booking as well. They tried to contact the hostel also without success. In the end booking advised to cancel the whole week - hence I stranded in Rijeka - it was late night and I had to quickly search for another hotel. This behaviour is absolutley ridicolous - this hostel can not be recommended for anybody that wants a save journey.
