Liked: Very pleasant, chatty people in lounge, warm, outgoing reception, clean showers, clean linen, two internet connections in common room, warm environment. Attentive staff - quick to want to help with my queries re city and setup in the hostel. Great value for money. Have to walk a bit from rail station but close enough to bar attractions/rest of centre of town. Thanks a lot to the hostel.

Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: Personnel were friendly and helpful, the living room provides a common space where you can chat, watch a movie with other guests, read, check emails. The kitchen is large and well equipped. Friendly atmosphere, quiet location, sudden sleep in a single room at the top of the house. The furniture in the room is not so nice but it is OK, somehow it reminds me of a old house in the mountains.

Disliked: Living room too cold.

Liked: It was walking distance to the city centre and the bus terminals. The neighbourhood was quiet and safe.

Disliked: The shared rooms were a bit small as there were three double deck bunk beds in the room. I was unable to do my own laundry as we had to pay 4 pounds for the service and not so conducive as a budget traveller.
