Most unprofessional customer service ever.

The room was clean and adequate for an overnight stay. The hostel is on the sea front and our room looked out over the beach. It was close to local cafes and bars.

− The bed was more like a three quarter and we found the mattress uncomfortable. The Esplanade road outside was a rat run for boy racers in cars and motor bikes. The choice was either close the window and sweat or open it and get no sleep. On arrival the owner receptionist was rude and confrontational. He abruptly read a list of instructions to us and asked if I had parked between the white lines. I replied 'I'm not sure. I will check,' He seemed to have misheard my reply and took offence at this and when my wife commented began to confront her. We felt as though we were being inducted into a prison. We tried to leave the following day without comment but as I left the owner asked what I thought of the room. I replied 'It was alright' intending to depart quickly, but he persued the comment, I told him I felt the room to be overpriced and became aggressive, We tried to leave but he followed us to the car park, got close to my face and shouted personal insults at me and my wife. At one point we were in genuine fear for our safety. I asked him if he intended to hit me. We did eventiually leave but were deeply upset by the experience.
