Liked: Easy to find the hostel, not far from the train station and Greyhound Bus station. Staff were helpful and friendly when we needed to extend our stay.

Disliked: No luggage storage room which meant everyone's luggage was in the downstairs communal area and not secure. Kitchen not as clean as it could have been been. Hob difficult to use as markings on the controls were non existent. Lift very slow!!

04 January 2012 Olivier would recommend this property

Liked: Price, location, staff. We were in this hostel for christmas and we appreciated a lot the presents offered.

Disliked: It's missing an atmosphere. All walls are white there is no decoration. The kitchen is located in the basement, it's a very big open space, with a big kitchen, living-room, sofas, TV, lockers and intenet. We didn't feel good in this principal room, so we have tried to spent the less time possible.

Disliked: No Internet include in the price (even if you can get free Wifi not far, and free computers at the bus station) Lounges are often very noisy, there is nowhere to stay calm with no TV noise.
