Good location and nice people staying there that's all it's got going for it. Everyone had bed bugs and the place is dirty. People sleeping anywhere instead of paying for a bed. Worst hostel I've stayed in.

A really dirty and disorganised backpackers!! The first night there was a guy in my bed, and the third night the reception thought i had to check out (i don't know why), so they checked in some other guys into my room, so i had to change room once again. Moreover there's no locker or shelf in the rooms, and you have to pay to have an esky in the kitchen (anyway there's no free space). Otherwise the place has some caractere because it's an old building.

Everything too less bedbugs too much I stayed in 2 different rooms and i had to share my bed in both rooms with bedbugs. In one of my rooms we couldn't close the door because the lock was broken and nobody takes care about this problem. Some people from the stuff are very unfriendly and lazy and when you come with a problem to them, then you get the most time answers like when you are not happy here, then can you change the hostel, you don't have to stay here.

The overall impression is that the hostel is very shabby and could use a proper renovation. Lamps don't Always work, the bathroom is not covered from view from the outside. The atmosphere is good though, as well as the helpfullness of the staff. However, the staff should be paying more attention to all the guests, not just to the long term guests.
