If you are looking for a true hostel experience, Id give this a miss. Its really a glorified cheap hotel. Nothing wrong with that in itself but they are really lying when it says it has a kitchen and laundry, its basically name only. The kitchen is a small room in the basement. It consists of a small microwave, and a double electric hotplate. I saw a few glasses and 4 plates. Dont think you are going to be able to cook a decent meal here as you will be fighting with 50 other people for the wooden spoon. The fridge broke down as well and everyones food was spoiled including our own. The laundry room is one washing machine and one dryer in the hallway by the kitchen.The queue to wash clothes was all day everyday and I found myself doing drying at 1am as it was the only time i could get free. The general reception area was chaotic with about 3 members of staff who seemed to be working 24/7. There was a nice garden area but a rather burly security guard kicked everyone out at 9pm as it closes. On a map it looks like its close to the station. Technically it is, but the station is ENORMOUS and you will spend a good hour a day marching from one side to the other. In reality it must be a mile to the nearest U or tram stop once you have walked all round. Finally the rooms were fine. Clean, spacious and comfy. Nothing exceptional but a good clean room.
