My room was VERY noisy and kept me up all night with machinery noises.

This is a place to stay when all of the other hostels are full. To be fair they are sometimes warm and not always cold I guess it depends on which prison cell you are allocated but most of them don’t have opening windows, air conditioning circulates stale air around the building to make this a little more pleasant until it stops working leaving you felling like you’re going to suffocate… and yeah and the place is about as exciting to stay in as a old peoples’ home.

A nice hostel, place is clean but the rooms are a bit of a squeeze ( I stayed in a 5 bed dorm). It's a little bit out of the city but not too far, 15 min walk or so.

Place is devoid of any craic whatsoever, and I wasn't looking for a party hostel atomosphere by any means. Comes across as a place owned by a police officier/prison guard, strict rules, everything requires a deposit (even cutlery), their internet facility has right click disabled make even basic file transfer tedious, and card entry system can be haphazard!. All that aside, the hostel is clean.

Not overly impressed with the fact that you have to put a deposit down for cutlery & plates - I\'ve stayed at over 20 hostels around the world & this is the first time I\'ve come across this!

This place feels STERILE. The rooms are SUPER tiny. I wouldn't stay here again.

This hostel is very well located right near the city. We were in a 5 bed dorm which was a little on the small side especially when everyone has their bag out. The bathrooms and kitchen are cleaned daily. There seemed to be a lot of working travellers staying here. Overall very nice and would recommend to others.
