Not a bad place, but I wont recommend it to people who want to just sleep in peace.. Be prepared for drunk dorm mates coming back at 4pm and having a party..

Everything. It was perfect. I can't think of any way to make it better. I'm recommending it to everyone. It's even its own reason to visit the town. We were seven people and all of us loved it to death.

Great hostel, except that the showers were too small with no places to put your cloths and towel or even the soapbar/shampoo. Breackfast not free but could be added for 2 pounds. The atmosphere was great.

fun place, well located, very clean and colourful.safe with free lockers in the room (but don't arrive too late or you'll have to wait until the following morning to have it!). very lot of people, don't really talk to each other. if you want to go out and just have a place to sleep it's ok, but if you have to wake up early...our roommates came back at 4am !
