Liked: The staff were very friendly and helpful and moved me and my 2 friends to a 2 bedroom so we didn't have to share! Plus great location and value for money!

Disliked: The shower/toilet area was small but that is to be expected in a hostel I imagine.

Liked: It was a good stay, nice location. staff helpful.

Disliked: Despite of the photos, I stayed in a room with bunk beds (noisy) so was the door's hinge. Toilets were not very clean at times even with cold water to have a shower (There was just one cleaner). Pretty small kitchen/lounge and breakfast always out of something (milk, juice, jelly). . It just needs some improvement (of course some guests don't really help)

Liked: I would recommend it when you are looking for a authentic "cheap hostel experience"

Disliked: I saw a mouse in my room (and I heard another person also complaining about a mouse in their room). The room (double room) was slightly under furnished: no chair or table, no small lamp on the nightstand. And the mattress was very worn and old, although the room itself was nice. The some shower rooms were in not so good condition: rusty and plaster falling of the walls. Kitchen was way too small and underequipped for a place like that - people were eating their breakfast standing up and sharing mugs.
