Liked: Good breakfast and nice TV room with loads of comfy beds to chill out on and watch TV.

Disliked: We stayed on a Sat night and were playing cards in the communal area, however at 11pm we were made to vacate the area as they said that the hostel had a noise curfew.

Customer review

07 January 2009

Liked: nice social area, but our room stank of smoke and had bed bugs. The kitchen (next to the room) closes early so you can sleep, but then the cleaners arrive at 5am and make a racket for no apparent reason. The "famous" pancake breakfast is DIY with no fillings apart from cheap nasty syrup -best avoided.
