Nie wieder! Keine Übernachtung mit Smartphonezwang.
Cons:

Bei der Buchung wurde mir nicht mitgeteilt, dass der Check-In nur per QR-Code mit einem internetfähigen Smartphone möglich ist. Da ich ein solches nicht besitze, wurde mir beim Check.In vor Ort mitgeteilt, dass ich dann nicht dort übernachten könne. Erst als ich dann darauf bestand, die bereits bezahlte Übernachtung zurückerstattet zu bekommen, fand sich noch eine Lösung. Der Smartphonezwang dieses Hostels ist unakzeptabel. In Zukunft werde ich nicht mehr in A&O-Hostels übernachten.

A big thank you to Ahmed and Taha for their kindness, professionalism, and excellent service. Both were incredibly friendly, helpful, and always willing to assist with a smile. They truly made my stay more enjoyable and memorable.
