Privet room good to get if couple bit expensive if cheaper be better
I was impressed with the friendliness of the staff, and cleanliness of the shared areas - bathroom, kitchen and lounge was in a reasonable state. All over, it was great value for money I'm really pleased I stayed here.
There was a warm greeting, warm shower, clean sheets. This was overshadowed by filthy conditions, misguided management when dealing with overbooking beds drunkenness and ignored my request for a quieter room, but in the same breathe upgraded for free two other people for free but asked me to pay for the upgrade. I'll avoid this hostel in my future travels. It has left a bad feeling of being unable to handle all clients needs for safety and a decent night's sleep or requests for an upgrade to avoid police being called out to remove drunken load/ rude poeple
Don't stay here unless it's your last option. Expensive, dirty, weird smells all around, mainly humidity and piss. No lockers in rooms and just one socket.
My boyfriend and I spent a good time there, we had the breakfast for free and it's a very quite place!

It was ok! Room was very simple...as in a bed and a fridge and a pedestal fan and nothing else...but it did the job. Couple of cockies getting about, but that didn't bother me. Might bother some other customers though...
