They have two locations and one of them is shut down on weekdays. We booked Fri, Sat, Sunday and were forced to check out at 10am on Sunday then didnt get to go in our new dorm room until almost 5pm. One of the staff was a bit rude to us during this situation. They had advertised free Wi-Fi, but in reality the Wi-Fi was really expensive. This was a bit upsetting for us. They have a really good system in the communal kitchens and offered good storage space for guests. Location was Amazing.They have two locations and one of them is shut down on weekdays.

Excelent situation but very poor character, insufficient bathrooms, very small showers and cramped rooms. It\'s a flat converted in a hostel. Poor cleanliness in general. Anyway an adequate place to stay if you look for something simple.Excelent situation but very poor character, insufficient bathrooms, very small showers and cramped rooms.

Other than good location, the hostel failed in quite a few areas. There were insufficient utensils in the kitchen and those available looked dirty. Cups were chipped. The room had bad ventilation (having a very sick person who shared the room coughing throughout the night made the problem worst), the sheets had someone else's hair on it, there were no clean linens. The a few of the shower cubicles could not be locked. The hooks at the back of the door couldn't be used.Other than good location, the hostel failed in quite a few areas.

Staff were friendly, kitchens and rooms really clean and large enough for all. Not many toilets/showers at all but only had to wait once so wasn't really a problem. Would recommend the 6bed dorms over the 16bed ones. Would definately stay again.Staff were friendly, kitchens and rooms really clean and large enough for all.
