Valentine Hostel

It was the worst stay anywhere ever. First of all the hostel was not to find on the given address. I phoned the owner, who after a short talk quit-ted the call and and turned of his phone. I walked around quite a lot with heavy luggage before i finally found the place. Then they had given my booked and paid bed to someone else and i had even to argue for quite a while to be able to stay there. It was already evening and it would have been hard to find anything else. Finally that allowed me to sleep in another room. I had arrived in pondicherry around 18h, but after all that searching and convincing then to give me a bad as i had booked it, it was after 21h. So then i also had the problem that is was hard to find a decent place to eat at that hour. Later i wanted to get up to the rooftop, which was one of the reasons why i had booked that hostel. But the manager told me, i was only allowed to be in my floor. The next day i found my wallet in the hostel outside my room. All bigger money, at all more than 1000 rupees had been taken out of it. Later around 11on the morning, when i had left to go to auroville, the owner called me that i would have to come back immediately. He said, they needed that bed and i would have to change room immediately. When i said, i would need some time to go back, he insulted me and accused me to make use of his "kindness. Because he said it was kind of him to give me that vied at all. So i had to stop my trip and to come back. That was horrible, because i only had that day in pondicherry and wanting to see auroville was the main reason, why i had come to pondicherry at all. So in the final i was not able to as it, because i had to come back to the hostel in the middle of the day. Moreover the bathrooms were quite filthy. In one of them there was even water leaking through the ceiling and dropping down. The only good thing in that hostel were the other guest there. Mainly young people from all over india, with whom i had nice conversations.
