Vigo Beds and Rooms

Don’t do it, if you can avoid it at all!!! Unsafe for solo travelers!!! You’ll be sharing rooms with strangers (ok fine) in a building without staff (not fine)! in a kinda dodgy part of town (ok though). But it’s not really a hostel, it’s just a money making scheme. They put thin walls, creaky bunks and beeping automated locks in an office building with coldish water and call it a hostel. The water is too cold for showers (have fun in winter), but too warm to drink. No drinking water station. No kitchen. No common area. No reception! No human staff at all (- except for the cleaning person in the morning around check out time, who is friendly). They do everything else online. Ok fine? …But you’ll sharing a room with strangers, in a building without any kind of staff or security or anything at all. They accommodate nighttime arrivals (thank you, person at the hotline!), which is very nice when you’re the night time arrival - and really annoying for everyone else. Again. A strangers might arrive in your room during the night. And You hear them arriving, from anywhere in the building, thanks to the air vents and thin walls. It’s either too hot without air (haha no, you can’t open a window if you’re lucky enough to have one in your cubicle… uh room) or loud a/c, but the choice isnt yours. Again: no Staff at The Location at all. You have to check in online and they send you codes for the locks a little later. No reception. No chill area. No nothing. The wildest thing? You can carry your luggage up the stairs. There’s an elevator. But it needs a code, too. And you only get the code if you buy parking for a car. The whole place is a shame. 28/30€ a night and the best thing i can say is: no bedbugs.

A masterclass in Capitalism: Buy, straight up, an offic building and make it plainly obvious. Smack cheap bunk beds in the first type of room and technically a cabinet but don't bother with locks. The second type turn into group showers. Technically. Just put a button in each stall that makes cold but bearable water come out of the wall. No need for hooks or anything else that people need for hygiene. Take the cheap digital combination door locks. Doesn't matter that each time one presses a button, it beeps loudly waking up anyone in the rooms. Allow late check-ins as a main selling point, so this happens frequently too. Have every door in the building self shut, but so loudly, that the keypad noises aren't even the problem anymore. Thin office walls after all. Also gotta give guests the chance to experience such novelties as kids upstairs throwing themselves around the room until past midnight after all. Online check in, enter theough sketchy side door. No lights on, no reception, only empty soulless corridors and no feeling of any security. Maybe it's not masterfully capitalist after all, but just straight up sadistic. This can't all be coincidentally messed up. If you're a group of six men that can't be bothered with safety or hygiene, ... You can still do better than this place. If you're a woman solo travelling... You're honestly better off lying down behind the next bush. I really can't hate on this place enough. Here's a good one. A fun activity that you can do if you find yourself here anyway: while frustrated with this place, type a negative review on maps, because you have to wait until tomorrow on checkout until you can hate on it on booking dot com too. I'm not kidding. I did that days ago. Phone ran out of battery. Entire review got lost and now I retyped it all because my desire to hate on this place is that great.

I welcomed the fact that I could book and check in late at night, the host was responsive on WhatsApp, and the beds were comfortable, but this place needs serious improvement. The access codes did not arrive and I needed to contact the host late at night for them. The bathroom door did not either close or lock. There are no lights working in the entrance area. There is no air circulation in the rooms, there is no drinking water in the building, and the water for the showers is only barely lukewarm. These are basic things and this place does not seem to be able to get them right.

We couldn’t find any hotels with availability that were located less than a mile from the airport so we found this place that was a 15 min drive. We arrived around midnight and there is no light when you go in and go up the first set of stairs. The elevator was not visible so we had to carry large suitcases. It was awful. We found the room and entered with the code we received. You have to make your own beds as the sheets are folded waiting for you. While making the 6 beds I saw a lot of hairs. It was also super hot as the room had no ventilation (fans or windows or a/c). I messaged the hotel on WhatsApp and they told me that the a/c is turned on from 18:15 to 00:00 so people can rest. But you can’t rest without circulating air or when it’s hot. None of our party had a restful night, I barely slept. I do not recommend this place.

I booked a private room . The room is nice and everything is good for one or two night stay. The beds and bathrooms are clean. Fully centralized air condition. These ratings are based on the private rooms and bathroom!
