Well, at a certain youth hostel, a traveler had a very bad experience. He was staying in a shared dormitory. In the middle of the night, he felt something tugging at his blanket. At first, he thought it was one of the other guests accidentally. But then it became more forceful. He turned on the light and saw nothing. But as soon as he turned the light off again, it started again. He was so terrified that he moved to the common area and slept on the couch for the rest of the night.
Yes, I once stayed in a hostel where the room was freezing cold at night. The heater wasn't working, and when I asked the staff about it, they just said there was nothing they could do. It was so uncomfortable that I barely got any sleep that night.
There was a time when a boy staying at a youth hostel lost his wallet. He was really worried as it had all his important cards and some money. Other boys in the hostel noticed his distress.
