Liked: The location is very good. We arrived at night time, nobody was there so we waited for someone for some minutes..... the room wasn't tidy up, dirty sheets, dirty bin...not the best impression... the matress was in terrible condition. at the other day I was more tired!!!we asked for a room change and they hadn't any problem... the other room was much better. The kitchen and toilet are ok

Liked: great location. the place smells and the cleaner did a terrible job. he mopped the toilet first (with cold water then went straight to the kitchen with the same mop and water. stayed for a week at about $95.00 AUD per person (over hogmanay) a night and had freezing showers the whole week. told reception but nothing offered to us as wouldnt be fixed over new year. key wouldnt open door properly and when reception came to look at it questioned us about if we had damaged the door. needs a proper common room. very boring hostel
