Liked: Best breakfast I ever had in a hostel. Good location.

Disliked: Constantly low on change, which is quite a problem when you are travelling in a group of people that pay everything seperately.

Liked: Location was pretty good. Just a few minutes walking distance to lots of things to do.

Disliked: Rooms need to be better ventilated. People are living here, not just staying for a few nights or a week. Wi-fi area is tiny. Lounge area was constantly blaring Christmas music, so I couldn't enjoy it. Very confusing layout to the building. Lockers not available (I was told they were all in use by "long-term residents"). Had to charge my keycard every single time I wanted to go into my room. The list goes on and on.

Liked: Very large common areas, including weird underground tunnels. Big kitchen that is open late. Reception was nice, but the cleaning staff was angry and lazy. When we went to check in, they asked us to come back later because the room was not ready, we came back three hours later and went into room and it was still not cleaned, reception asked cleaners and they yelled at him then threw things around the room and put new sheets on only our beds. The men's washroom was completely ripped apart for renovations, there were only two working showers with no curtains that men had to use while construction workers were there.

Disliked: Changed hostel name without notifying us, is no longer Browns Hostel. The couches and common area were old and dirty. Internet was expensive at 6 Euros an hour.

Liked: We went to check in and they had lost our booking (also happened to our friends checking in the next night), so after waiting to check in we were put in an apartment converted to a hostel. Seemed good, but no cleaning stuff in the kitchen and it was poorly stocked with utensils. The internet as advertised was expensive and wifi was useless. A guy even came into our room on our last night to find out who we were and made us feel like we weren't meant to be there. Hostel was like a rabbit hole, hostel is totally disorganised. Wouldn't recommend it, you can do much better!

Liked: It's a good hostel, the only thing I missed was a sink and/or a mirror in the room, otherwise it's above average, clean, nice staff, good location, 24 hour reception. Anyone who wouldn't recommend it, hasn't been to hostels before.
