28 June 2011 Jessica would recommend this property

Liked: Nice chill out areas, handy inexpensive washer and dryer.

Disliked: The most expensive hostel I have ever stayed in, but great decor. The kitchen is a pizza oven and a george forman grill and a fridge. Dont expect to do much cooking there. A bit noisy at night.

Liked: Clean room and toilets. Free breakfast. Free storage. Location. Price. Cheap drinks. Comfortable furniture. Good pillow. Good colour in the rooms. Good funky character with the room numbers projected on the wall with light which was a nice touch

Disliked: Not enough room in the showers. Optimally I would have liked a bench to put my clothes and hair/face products on as 2 hangers are not enough. At the very least you should put 2 more clothes pegs in there. (1 peg for a towel, 1 peg for dirty clothes, 1 peg for clean clothes and 1 spare). Our room was right above the outside bar which let all the noise in (it was great that there was a noise curfew.

Liked: Our room was huge and we had a nice view over the river

Disliked: The pub underneath was very noisy- we had to use earplugs to sleep. Also the showers were very small and there was mould on the shower curtains. When we moved one bed away from the wall there was a lot of dust and dirt underneath it, but once we told the staff they cleaned is right away.
