Liked: Central location, adjoining bar with live music, small pool, internet and great staff!

Disliked: I stayed over Christmas Day and there wasn't any advance warning that everything in the town would be shut and what the options would be for food/drink. Shame there was no Christmas even at the hostel.

Liked: Good location.

Disliked: rooms were dirty, free breakfast was rubbish and didn't even provide any butter...not to mention the kitchen was filthy. The doormen working in the club were really rude too. If you want my advice, stay at nomads next door instead. Rooms are MUCH nicer, bigger pool and it can be just as cheap.

Liked: Nice rooms with TV and fridge, bar close. Nice and quiet place. Got to a room right away even though it was only 11 am.

Disliked: In our bathroom sink, cold water tab didn't work and also shower was either cold or boiling hot. I told about this to reception and they said someone would come and look at the tabs in the morning, but no one came. Free breakfast toast is really early and when I got there, there was barely nothing left.

Liked: Great location and was really cheap for what it has to offer (we went during late winter so don't know if it goes up in summer) Bar is right outside and wasn't too noisy at night, compared to other hostels that were double the price and impossible to get any sleep in!

Disliked: Breakfast was a bit of a scramble and you only have an hour margin to grab something. Bread, milk, cornflakes and jam (no butter) is all chucked on the side for people to fight for haha all coles value too but FREE. so I can't complain really :)

Liked: Cool bar downstairs and in the middle of the city centre. Rooms were pretty clean, just as the kitchen. Free breakfast, although it was pretty early but free is free.

Disliked: Music from bar is pretty loud if you have a room above the bar. But it stops around midnight so it isn't that bad.
