Liked: - The breakfast room is on the top floor of the building, with windows all around. This gives you a beautiful birds eye very of the buildings below and the harbor a short distance away. - In the evenings or on rainy days, the breakfast room, which is fitted with a large screen plasma TV, was used as a movie room. We got to watch "Salt" and some other movies :)- It is also located in the middle of the tourist are, making it easy to see a lot of attractions and restaurants- I also liked the fact that it was easy to travel to and from the property. It was easy to catch trams and taxis

Disliked: The rooms were a bit too small and some nights it was hard to sleep with an open window, as the traffic (in the street below) was bit noisy

Liked: Excellent accommodation. Location was great, close to everything in the old town. Near a little restaurant strip that has good food at a reasonable price. We stayed in the new private rooms a very short distance from the hostel (less than 100m) and they were excellent, brand new and squeaky clean. Very helpful staff. Breakfast included was basic, yet sufficient. Highly recommend.

Disliked: ROBERT left no negative feedback.

Liked: The location was simply great....most sites are within easy reach and within walking distance and you feel safe to walk around alone at any time of day.

Disliked: The only thing that affected me was that I was in a twin room (bunk beds) and only had one wall fan to share between the two.....it was boiling hot and sweaty and could barely sleep at night with the frustration.
