Liked: Reasonably comfy bed with card entry doors on rooms.

Disliked: The whole place needs updating and a thorough clean. You have to be up very early to get any hot water for a shower and you have to be a midget to wash your hair under the shower.

Liked: Good location, and potential for good facilities.

Disliked: kitchens, showers, toilets were all not clean at any stage of our stay. our room the second time we stayed did not have any ventilation at all. showers did not have hot water at one point and there were not enough showers/toilets for the number of people staying on our floor.

Liked: the location

Disliked: the rooms were dirty and overpriced for what they are, in comparison to many hostels we have stayed at. Even those we stayed in Asia were a lot cheaper and of a better standard.

Liked: Apartments for several rooms with own kitchens etc. Toilets and showers in seperate rooms, not many in one big room

Disliked: Noise of the bar when you want to sleep (couldn´t close window properly because it was broken) Only two plugs in one room for six persons Staff is sometimes bored/don´t want to give more information than the minimum Keycards to rooms always break, even if you keep them in your pocket and not near anything that makes them break --> it´s annoying to always run down to the reception (in pajamas/...) and tell them it´s broken again, they are annoyed by that themselves

Liked: Good setup with these apartment style dorms. Really does feel like a little apartment. Bar on site was good ( needed more money thou!)

Disliked: Irish guy who came in and threw up bits of steak on the floor. Admittedly this is not fat camels fault and they did throw him out after two nights, but by that time we had decided to move on. Also, lots of high charges for extra like washing and internet.

Liked: Nothing

Disliked: The place is run down. None of the showers worked, the oven door was in pieces. The budget room is below sub standard living conditions so we upgraded to a room which isn't great. The kitchen area was far to small and not well stocked with pots, pans, cups etc. The hostel rooms smell of damp also
