Liked: Perfect location along the Riverside, the staff are friendly. There is a narrow staircase however the staff carried my suitcase up it for me. Great breakfast.
Disliked: Not a lot of room since the bunkbeds were not high enough to put my stuff under and also narrow staircase. However despite these things I would definately stay again.

Liked: Very clean and tidy. Friendly staff. Was pleased that a female-only dorm option existed. Great breakfast!
Disliked: My assigned bed was a top bunk that was in very close proximity to a low ceiling so it felt very claustrophobic...however, the staff were very understanding and let me change bed.

Liked: This was a very clean hostel. The bathrooms were immaculate, and the rooms while sparsely furnished were spotless. The breakfast was also amazing, best hostel breakfast I have ever seen, with many juices, yogurts, cereals, breads, pastries, coffee, tea etc.
Disliked: The only thing slightly annoying was the smell in our room. It was vaguely reminiscent of cheese...Not terrible, we still stayed there, but if we had to stay longer than a night I may have asked to switch rooms. Knowing it was clean helped...not sure where the smell came from though!
