05 September 2010 Ben would recommend this property

Liked: The only downside for some will be the unisex toilets and showers with low divides. i wasn't bothered but I can see some being rather worried by this. The location is great just on the edge of the shops and some great clubs nearby. The door codes dont seem to get changed, but security wasnt an issue. One final warning-if your not the party type then this probably isnt the hostel for you as loud music plays till late, especially at weekends

Disliked: See above

Liked: Friendly and helpful staff, good kitchen facilities and excellent location!!

Disliked: Too much noise at night, make sure you have some earplugs nearby!! Also too much fuss with the codes and the doors.. And remember to read the description on how to find the hostel, carefully.. there was no sign on the buildning that indicated that the hostel was inside. And maybe I haven't looked hard enought, but I couldn't find any map on the web-site.
