Liked: The hostel was exactly as I was expecting - university accommodation. It was all very clean and safe. Not too much of a trek to get to the centre but there is a bit of a walk.

Disliked: (A very minor comment!!!) The shower itself is either scorching hot or freezing cold. Quite difficult to get it just right!

Liked: We were given free upgrade which includes a bathroom attached to our single rooms.

Disliked: If you are given a room on the 3rd floor, you will have to climb up the stairs with your heavy baggage. No tv in the room or even the common area. Have to buy internet cable instead of getting it on deposit loan or something.

Liked: The best thing about this hostel was the location - close to the bus and train stations and easy to walk from there to all central locations.

Disliked: The room was poor - very dirty carpet, sagging matress, tiny pillow, no sheets on bed when I arrived, bedside light not working and toilet not clean. The bed linen and new light bulb were swiftly provided when pointed out but it was a pleasant place to stay and I spent as little time in the room as I could.
