This hostel was in a great location, just a walk into the city centre. The staff were friendly. One negative aspect of this hostel was the kitchen. It is too small for the amount of people staying there and there is not enough space in the fridges for everyones food.

The location was very convinient, the city was about 15 minutes walk away and trains and buses were nearby. The hostel has a rule where it has to be quiet after 11pm. However, the breakfast on offer was not much of a breakfast, cereal and tea seemed to be the only they had to offer. Showers were clean but the toilets ran out of toilet paper pretty often and and were not as clean.

The cleanliness and opening hours of facilities were good in comparison to some hostels I've stayed in recently.

i rang the hostel from the airport and ask if someone can pick me up. the guy who picked up the phone, i think his name was Jason, said that he's gonna send someone. i didnt know how far is the airport from the hostel so i was patient. after 90 min. i called again, he said someone's on his way. after another 60 minuts i had to find a bus. it took me less than 15 minuts to get to hostel. apart from that everything was fine.
