Liked: Good location - close enough to city centre. Parking (although limited) right outside. Good cosy, friendly atmosphere. Felt at home right away. Excellent staff. Free tea and coffee.

Disliked: There's nobody at reception between 2.30 and 7am. But unless you are mental, you'll be in before 2.30am anyway.

Liked: Nice location, cheap, parking places available not too far

Disliked: I had to ask for the hostel manager to decrease her own music in the hall at 2am as it was relatively loud even in my room but she apologized and decreased it as soon as requested.

Liked: just down the street from the castle, fun staff and other travelers who all hang out in the evening, pretty clean, generally fun atmosphere, free wifi, they'll even do your laundry for you (not free).. some guys hid 60 army men around the place when they left, as a task for people to find later; it's that kind of a place.

Disliked: breakfast not free (but still cheap), bedrooms are a little tightly packed (but only bothersome if you're planning on chilling in your room the whole time). it was great, and these things didn't really bother me

Liked: Great location. Super helpful and friendly staff.

Disliked: Their internet was spotty and really only worked well in the middle of the night. But this is a provider issue, not on their end. Could have used more places to hang items of clothes in the rooms and showers.

29 December 2010 caitlyn would recommend this property

Liked: The staff there are really friendly, which makes for a good atmosphere. It was easy to meet people in the common areas, which are pleasant and cozy. Our dorm was actually pretty nice, the bunks were sturdy and didn't wake everyone up every time you rolled over. The rooms aren't huge, but they're comfortable, and there's enough room for your stuff. The place looks small from outside, and I was worried the rooms would be noisy (as there was a tour group there too) but the sound doesn't travel at all. Overall, a really nice hostel.

Disliked: The kitchen is tiny! probably too small for the amount of people there. But we still managed to cook, and there are free spices and stuff to use which is nice. I don't like sleeping in this sheet-bag thing they seem to do a bit in the UK. Small prices to pay though.
