Liked: Good location
Disliked: They had messed up my booking so moved me to a 6 person room instead of the 4 person room, it was very noisy - right by the front desk and staff were talking all night, inconsiderate.

Liked: Nothing, I was anxious to get the hell out of there. It's a safety and hygiene hazard and should be shut down immediately.
Disliked: Read my previous answers for that.

Liked: A cheap place to stay if you're on a budget and need a place just to sleep. Very close to underground station and the surrounding area is nice. Beds were comfy. We were upgraded to a private room, that was definitely a plus.
Disliked: The toilet system was not very modern and had very low pressure. We only stayed for one night, didn't see the showers. I would recommend this hostel only for a short stay, one or two nights.
