Liked: Location and price and that's pretty much it.

Disliked: -absolutely unenthusiastic and unhelpful staff, lack of security, the "breakfast" (old cornflakes), cleanliness, non working equipment... I got an 8-dorm instead of a 6-dorm.

Liked: It is very cheap and cheerful, for this price you can't go wrong really. The beds were comfortable, the dorms a good size with enough space to store all your belongings, free breakfast and no curfew. I was v happy!

Disliked: The security could be better as anyone could have walked in off the street and the rooms tend not to be locked as they are dorms and people come and go.

Liked: Location, breakfast

Disliked: BUGS IN BEDS! Seems like they haven't changed matreses for ages, after first night I was all covered by bites of bedbugs. Shower on the ground floor not working. Indian guy in the reception desk pathetic, unfriendly and lazy, totally helpless. Lack of any security, didn't receive keys to the room, I could sneak to any room and take whatever I want without bing noticed, and that's horrible. Obviously forget about central heating. To summarize - cold, dirty, unsecure, unfriendly

Liked: I liked the location and the price of the room.

Disliked: Kitchen was not clean, the dishes were not cleaned in a dish washer. It was very loud during the night, because the hostel is located on a big street and the fire doors were slamming when people where going to the bathroom.
