Liked: location was close to attractu\ions

Disliked: it was fithy. Cut toe nail clippings on the floor in the room. Floors were not clean, rooms had no locks, steel lookers made lots of noise in the night, common room was filled with smoke so you could not chill there. The place felt like old style cheap cherrful and dirty

Liked: Stayed at this hostel for 3 nights. Walking distance from the metro, but a little noisy on some nights when the bar downstairs was active (probably due to weekends)Its sister hostel, Heart of Gold, would be a much better choice. Laundry has to be done at Heart of Gold, which was 3mins walk away.
