Bar open until 5am. Good breakfast (for what it is). I didn't see Hostel Bookers promoted at the hotel - but then it could have been because I did not look!!!

Overall, I had a great stay. Met fun people, partied a little, free wi-fi... solid. However, watch out for the noise. The bar is definitely audible on weekends from 1st floor rooms. So if you want to have a good time... come here, but bring some earplugs. Also, the kitchen facility is incredible... but the fridge was always packed full.

The atmosphere and the creativity of the place! Everyone has the opportunity to have fun, but can have their own space too.

Great cheap bar, lovely staff, very friendly and helpful, superb location near a supermarket, the shops and plenty of bars. Walking distance to all major attractions. Spacious double rooms. Good international feeling.

Fantastic place actually ! I only gave it a average rating on the Cleanliness because the toilets seemed abit messy at times, but that mainly depends on the guests more then the hostel. they where cleaned like 2 times a day. People living there where VERY friendly, 2 houres after arriving we met Chris(Au), Cyril(Fr and Chris(Uk) whom we hang out with the rest of the week. Breakfast is abit basic BUT its not so you will go hungry away or anything like that. for 5 pounds a week you can properly make it more then great, if you choose to buy it yourself.
