16 September 2010 Silvia would recommend this property

Liked: The hostel is very near to the bus station and city centre. The staff there is friendly and helpful. Good thing there are free lockers next to the bed and the place is safe. If you don't have a key you cannot enter the dorm rooms. There's a kitchen with all the things you need, a fridge and microwave. So you can cook pasta or make yourself a salad, you don't have to eat everytime a takeaway. Coffee and tea are free!Separate toilets for women/men.It's a good place to meet new people.

Disliked: Has only two toilets, one was mostly broken and two showers. The showers are great with hot water, but sometimes in the morning it was a bit crowdy.

Liked: Only good point was the location - i wouldn't recommend this hostel to anyone.

Disliked: Staff were unhelpful, most of them very rude. It was particularly unclean. And most disappointly myself and my partner were not given the same dorm room - on arrival we were told this was not possible because they were so busy and we 'hadn't specifically requested it'.
