Rooms are clean, however you have to pay extra 2 euros per night for blanket or duvet (there is no duvet cover supplied). Ceilings in toilets and bathroom are full of mould. They should do something about it... Staff is very friendly and was the greatest advantage of this place.

Appart from the location of the hostel for example last night we have to take the plane at 5:00 AM, and we could use the kitchen to cook and put the baggage in a room without pay this night.

The kitchen is falling to pieces and many people continue to make it filthy despite the cleaners coming in a few times a day

good value - cheap & clean, room was quiet and nice for a 20bed. thing i really hated was that the room was really far from the exit/reception & showers (5 staircases and many corridors) and every time you left the room you had to take your key to reception to reset it or it didnt work - seems really stupid! also nowhere to hang your towel or put soap, clothes in the showers so you had to walk around naked.

The property was good value for money very close to Bus Station but the girls bathroom was disgusting. Very mouldy and damp and smelt terrible. Hostel is currently undergoing renovations though so hopefully that will be fixed.

The only nice thing about this place is the price. I knew ahead of time from reading online reviews that this place was a dump so I was prepared for it when I got there. I was not very concerned with this, though, because I knew the only time I was going to be there was when I was sleeping. If that's all you're there for, then you're fine! The staff was friendly and that's all that mattered!

It is a great location and price, that's for sure. There is a bit of a dodgy feel to the hostel; the room had a strong smell of mildew to it. But hey, what do you expect for less than ten Euro a night. Anyway, I was in the 18-bed room, so anytime you get 18 bodies in one room together, there's bound to be a bit of a funky smell.
