Liked: Next to the Bus Station

Disliked: We arrived late and told them per mail, but nobody was there. After one hour we came in and got no blanket...nothing. It was cold and beds are not very good.

Liked: i liked the free breakfast and the free apple pie at night time

Disliked: there was a funny smell in the tv room, the first night we went in the kitchen was so dirty we freaked out! it was cleaned the next day though but we were too afraid to cook there, When we arrived late from the airport on our first day there were no blankets on the beds, the blankets are extra, so we had to ring them as reception was closed. it was winter when we stayeed there but it was really quite and the bar was closed both nights we were there

Liked: The bar was fun with a great atmosphere and good drink deals. The free breakfast was also a lot better then I expected, and better then in other hostels I have been to. Overall just a fun place to stay, with easy going staff!!!

Disliked: the property is in an old building so not very modern and a little dirty. There were also bugs about the place,. I also didn't like that you only get a sheet and pillow and if you wont an over blanket or duvet you have to pay. Also there are no lockers in rooms.

Liked: Pancakes for breakfast, Apple Pie&Cream at 8pm, nice staff and big rooms. They offer a lot for a fair price and if you still don't know what to do or where to go next there's a travel agency in the place. Plus the blackboard has a lot of ads!! :D

Disliked: Internet Access was not for free though it wasn't that expensive (3$per hour)

Liked: Choice of 4 bed or 10 bed dorms. Good free breakfast and apple pie in the evening, always appreciated by backpackers on a budget. The lady at the travel desk was excellent.

Disliked: The kitchens were disgusting, I know that they had a cursory clean daily but what they really needed was a thorough clean and clear out of old food etc. The bathrooms were only marginally better, out of 5 showers only 4 were working. Good job it wasn't too busy.
