Customer reviewI honestly didn`t like anything about the properly. We would have change hostels if we could have gotten a refund because the heater didn`t work in our room, the sheets were dirty, and the black mould all on one wall. |

Customer reviewWell, the location is very good and the staff is very friendly and helpful and the showers did have hot water. BUT the room was really dirty, and the bed didn't have a proper mattress, you could feel the springs in the bed. The heat wasn't working properly, the room was damp. They say "stylish apartments", not that stylish, believe me. |

Customer reviewWe booked a private room and turned up on time to be told the room was not ready and to return two hours later. We returned at 14:30 and were told the room was still not ready (Checkout is 10AM so we found this difficult to understand - How long can it take to change the sheets on 4 beds?) However we were told that there was another room we could use - However this was a shared room, a fact the receptionist failed to tell us when giving us the keys and letting go find the room. We were not offered a refund in the difference in price between the originally booked 4 bed dorm for our party and the 6 bed dorm we had to stay in. The beds were very old, squeaked all through the night and were very uncomfortable. |

Customer reviewThe self-contained style. We did not have to use reception very much - good considering how unfriendly was the person on reception the night we arrived. |
