Liked: good location, nice and helpful staff. The kitchen was pretty well equipped. If it is important for somebody; the double room has a TV. For breakfast you get tea, coffee, cereals and a sandwich.

Disliked: There was nothing really bad, however there were small negative things. The bed I slept on was probably old, I felt the springs. The toilets are really tight (big people won't be able to turn around and clean their a$$). The showers are working, however the doors don't close properly, you cannot hang the shower head and if two people are taking a shower at the same time, there is not much water coming out of it. The sandwich for breakfast was not really fresh and tasty, but thats my opinion.

Liked: The staff is AMAZING!! The number of languages they speak is incredible, and they truly want visitors to have a good time. The beds and kitchens are great... overall it's very close to the ideal hostel experience.

Disliked: There are not nearly enough bathrooms for a full dorm room, and not enough secure storage space for all one's belongings (you may have to bring your own lock too, I'm unsure).

Liked: The fact that it was 1 night only! Bathroom in the dormitory was dirty!!There was a group of youngs that made noise the whole night. I could not sleep at all! Ant in the morning I had to wake up at 6 to take my bus!I think it' s more a hostel for boys than for girls! No toilet paper in the bathroom. I do not recommend it!

23 August 2009 Anna would recommend this property

Liked: The hostel is a pretty decent one but what lets it down is that it offers so much and delivers very little. On flyers etc, it makes itself out to be a really good hostel when actually its pretty average. The staff are helpful enough but not very friendly or approachable. On flyers the hostel claims to be really fun and says that it hosts parties and gatherings but there was none of that going on when we stayed there.The bathroom situation is ridiculous. There were 18 people to one bathroom, which smelt aswell. My bed was right near the bathroom and it made it really hard to sleep because people were constantly using it so the light was being turned on and the door to it is really loud.

Disliked: Anna left no negative feedback.

Liked: The showers were good! Powerful and lots of hot water. I wasnt so happy about the dorm room i was in; it was a throughfare to anopther room, and the bunk beds were squashed under the sloping roof. Not so goot if you are 6 foot tall!
