Dopa Hostel

Also seeing from other comments and witnessing it by my own, their approach is: Customer is always wrong and can be replaced!

I travelled around 30 countries and this hostel has been the most terrible hospitality I have ever witnessed my entire life! Plus they are far from being honest. I attach all the proofs to the comment. They tried to use my credit card without my consent!

I am a tourist who requires a visa to travel to Italy. Guess which racist deliberately ruined my application???!!!

I completed my reservation for the hostel and applied for the visa showing my travel documents. That reservation became an official document for me. You can see in the attachment this hostel has "free cancellation until last 48 h policy" and "no prepayment is needed" is clearly written there. Then, they started to try taking money from my credit card!!!! They are lying by saying no prepayment on the profile. They wanted to "block" my credit card "for a few days".  If I wasn't using this as an official document, I would have immediately cancelled the reservation by those scammers.

I don't want this hotel to "borrow" my credit card without my permission. I used the famous "booking" website for being safe!  There are 3 months to my reservation days, and countless times I received warning notifications from my bank. I put online shopping limit on my credit card to prevent myself from those frauds.

Anyways, I wanted to keep my money safe and I have to keep my reservation, because if my booking number changes, my visa application will be cancelled. So I let them know I don't want my credit card to be used and I don't want them to make changes on my reservations because it is an official document for my visa application and I can only stay in the hostel if I can got the visa.

 BUT THEY APPARENTLY DONT WANT PEOPLE WHO NEED VİSA TO STAY THERE. So they said they don't want to be used in visa applications and cancelled my reservation deliberately :) THEY DELIBARETELY TOOK MY RIGHT TO TRAVEL TO ITALY BY CANCELLING MY VISA APPLICATION.  THIS WILL EFFECT MY WHOLE VISA HISTORY AND I WILL HAVE LIFELONG DIFFICULTIES IN GETTING VISA, because they couldn't steal my money :) 

They are violating every hospitality rule. Also starting by catfishing on their profile. I didn't let them violate reservation conditions and forcefully borrow my money. You shouldn't too!

Racist, lying on their profile, trying to use my credit card without my consent!!!

Room is clean and the curtain on the bed gives nice privacy, though It would have been better if the lockers were bigger. Service is great, check out and check in was very easy. Chiara was as helpful and friendly as it gets. Location is amazing, juat a short walking distance to everything. Everyone was respectful and kept quiet at night, yet It wasn't hard to make friends especially during the shared breakfast.
Would definitely recommend.

Amazing

This hostel gets a 5 out of 5 vote from me and you won't find anyone as fussy as me when it comes to hostel reviews. I don't understand the mixed reviews it has been given by people staying here at the same time as myself?
The staff are very friendly and help you as much as possible.....a special shout out to Ciara who is very lovely. My room was very clean and my bunk had a charging point, night light and curtain. The only minor problem are the lockers are small and square so you can't really get anything in them - they need changing to bigger ones! 
The meeting area is just a ten foot square area next to the reception desk with only around six seating places and likewise the kitchen area is also small with a single long table for breakfast that can only seat around twelve people at any one time.
The main reasons for this is the hostel is small overall and also only has three shower rooms with the toilets housed within these rooms. This can be very annoying because if you're dying to use the toilet and all three showers are being used, you cannot gain access.
The breakfast is substantial as it's an all you can eat comprising of tea, coffee and orange juice. To eat you have fruits, yogurt, ham, salami, cheese and salad. For the English pallet you have different cereals, toast, cakes, biscuits and the use of butter, jam and chocolate spreads. There's also a coffee perculator which can be used at anytime during the day. Within the kitchen there's a large fridge to store your own personal food items if you wish. You are expected to wash up all your items after you finish which is no big deal but something I don't agree with on principle. I'm on holiday and I've paid for my B&B so I don't expect to do their job for them - maybe that's just me?
The location of the hostel is very good and within easy reach of the main city centre and tourist attractions with various buses a two minute walk from the front door and the main railway station just a fifteen minute walk away

DON'T UNDERSTAND THE RECENT MIXED REVIEWS

I stayed for 3 nights and the Hostel is a nice Family Home adapted to an Hostel. Nice decoration, and reasonably good welcome, but not all peoplein the reception was nice.. Yet, breakfast was to short, and if you want to eat more will be difficult to get it.Rooms are nice, but tend to be a little bit noisy.. Its overpriced for what you get.  Really can not understand why is so expensive! Location is good. Easy to find when you arrive from airport at nigt.
