Fabrika is pretty good as far as hostels go. The mattresses and linen are hotel quality, and the atmosphere is vibrant and interesting. What lets it down is the cleanliness and maintenance of the toilets and showers. Out of 13 showers in the men's bathroom only 4 are operational - looks like the others have been deliberately disabled. The floor and shower stalls are very dirty, I noticed they were not cleaned at all for 3 full days, maybe longer. In such a busy hostel I don't think that's an acceptable level of service - when only 4 showers are available. Also why is the light so dim in the lobby toilets? I need to use my phone flashlight to see anything, a bit of a divey, grimy feel. Another gripe is the incessant cigarette smoke in the back yard. It drifts into all the rooms, and it's just a bit sad to see all these young Georgians trapped into such a detrimental and unnecessary habit - Fabrika, why not be brave, take a stand, and ban all smoking from your premises? Be a leader, you'll see, it will be great!
