There were a few drawbacks to my stay at the hostel. the bathroom and shower room were not very clean, despite being cleaned by the maid.

During our stay at Parla, we had the pleasure of being guided around by the amazing receptionist, Evelyn. She was incredibly helpful and informative, making us feel welcomed from the start. The hostel has a fantastic rooftop terrace with breathtaking views, where we enjoyed our morning coffees and evening beers. The kitchen was spacious and regularly cleaned, and it was refreshing to see fellow guests taking responsibility for keeping it tidy. The common areas, both indoors and outdoors, were cozy and provided great spaces for socializing. Despite the smaller room size, the beds were comfortable, and soap was provided in the bathrooms, which is always a plus for me. Out of the six hostels we stayed at in BA, Parla was by far the best, with its friendly staff and well-maintained areas.

While there are areas for improvement, such as updating the facilities and cleanliness of the shared bathroom, our overall experience at Parla was still good value for money.

Great staff, very helpful and informative. Rooftop terrace is a nice place to relax. Kitchen and common area are good. Good vibes.

Oh, I just loved the smell of mold and mildew in the entry stairwell. Adds a certain charm, don't you think?
