If you are going to use numbered beds, then it should be enforced at the front desk during check-in. I can understand what a difficult situation this could be during the fact. In four nights at the hostel, I slept in four different beds in the same room! When I went to the front desk to discuss my issue all I was told was that "We cannot control where our guests sleep once they go into our rooms." THEN TAKE OUT YOUR NUMBERING SYSTEM! She also tried to blame the housekeeping staff. Fixed your flawed system or get rid of it. On the fourth night of waking up the whole room when I got back in I was sick of it. Not to mention my card had to be fixed every day due to issues. Other than that, great common room with free wifi. Great facilities with a good kitchen and laundry. P.S. Never book through their front desk as they charge more then they do online!!!! I booked a few more nights through hostelbookers.com at a lower rate then what they were offering.

This is a bargain! Probably the nicest hostel i've stayed at and for the price, you'd be hard pushed to find anywhere better. The showers are INCREDIBLE too! Highly Recommended!

clean rooms with large personal cupboards capable of padlocking shut. Cafe on premise. Open beer garden/hang out available too. Good for hanging out, bad for getting to sleep early.
