Liked: Very friendly staff and a nice common room with couches, tv and tables so you can chat with other people. Kitchen was fine, breakfast was very nice (brown and white bread with different toppings, also cereals with milk). Toilets and showers are in the hallway so it stays quieter in the room.
Disliked: It didn't seem very clean. The toilets don't always flush. The room was full of beds but luckily only 4 girls stayed there (and later 2).

Liked: Fun atmosphere. Loved all the paintings on the walls. Pool table, big-screen TV. Great breakfast. Office staff very friendly.
Disliked: Music was too loud in the common room. It was impossible to find a quiet place to read or study. Staff or long-term residents (I never determined which) were up in the common room at 3 a.m. one morning, very drunk, and very loud - shouts carried down the hall to the bedrooms. Two sinks is nowhere near enough facilities for the number of people staying in the hostel. I was always in a queue for a sink.

Liked: The location, close to everything. Nice atmosphere, easy to meet people as there is a bar.
Disliked: The room was very smelly. It might be because it is winter and the room does not get enough fresh air, but it was not that pleasant. Toilet and shower facilities quite smelly too.

Liked: The staff was nice and helpful.
Disliked: At the moment, certain rooms are in a bad shape. I was in particular in a room which had a very strange smell. This being said, the staff is trying to renovate the whole thing, so this should be better. Breakfast a little poor. At least a coffee machine would be good. But for a backpackers that must be usual.
