17 February 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: pretty good, tho the fridge and bathroom in the room were not as spotless as i like! (still wore flip flops in the shower). a/c was a great bonus tho, beds comfy too. very quiet as room was located at back of the hostel away from the street noise. Kitchen looked good - even has a proper oven.

31 January 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I liked the cost of a bed per night. We were apparently in the worst room, we were told by a long term resident that had been there a while and before, so hopefully the other rooms are better but never saw them.

Customer review

13 December 2009

Liked: 24h reception, close to train stationWhat I did not like:extremly unhelpful and useless staff, dirty linen and grafiti on walls. We requested a 4 bed dorm, female only and had first 2 males in the room. After telling that to the receptionist, they promised us to solve the problem and booked us into a room with one male! They promised to take the male out of the room for our following night, but this also did not happen. When I mentioned this at check out they just said, oh well you were only here for two nights so we didn't bother! What a bad service!!!

11 December 2009 Abbey would recommend this property

Liked: After reading some of the comments about this hostel my friend and I were unsure about booking it, however we found this hostel to be one of the best ones we stayed at during our trip. The place is clean, the walls are painted with really trippy drawings, and the rooms have comfortable beds, TV, mini fridge, and a bathroom that was spotless. The location is red light but we never felt unsafe.

Disliked: Abbey left no negative feedback.

Customer review

23 November 2009

Liked: Whilst in an easily accessible location and fairly cheap, everything else was horrendous, the dorm looked like a bomb had hit it, the shower was disgusting, and the tiny kitchen had hardly any cooking equipment, was disgustingly dirty, and the lift constantly stank. Drunk people came in and out of the dorms until about 4am, making sleep impossible. Don't stay here unless you have no other choice!
