Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Clean, basic hostel accommodation. Well equipped kitchen, friendly & organised welcome on arrival. The only thing is the walls are thin, so I had next door's tv coming thru one wall and the other neighbour's snores through the other. But, it was well priced and reasonably central. A good place to stay when you juat need somewhere to sleep.

Minus: My room was just sufficient, but not practical. And at night I had to tape cardboard on the window pane to screen from the outside electrical light, and to darken the room enough for sleep. Plus: good location, good atmosphere, good facilities.

Bed was comfy, bathroom was a bit grim. TV didn’t work, bit noisy at night but it is a hostel so to be expected. WiFi was good, kitchen was available but we didn’t use it though.
