If you are a loud mouth moron who delights in yelling in corridors at 3am morning, or wonder what\'s it like to be in prison, stay here and enjoy sleepless nights, wafer thin pillows and push button showers (10 sec of water per push)! If this is all you can afford, stay home and save money for something better. As to the jerks carrying on at 3 am on 11 & 12 Nov, GROW UP. You are not the only people on Earth, you idiots.

Standard YHA type hostel. Directions provided were poor, street name had a different spelling from what was provided and parking was in street behind building which was not pointed out in the instructions. Room did not have working heating and it was quite cold overnight. There was mould on the walls in the bedroom so cleanliness definitely not up to standard here.

As I wake up early it was difficult not to be able to access the members kitchen before 7.30 am. I would have liked a night light so I could read in my bunk. The kitchen is too small. Computer use a bit expensive and would not access hotmail. All staff were very helpful. Two men took control of the lounge and had it dark in the evening really excluding other people. I did enjoy myself - hope comments helpful.

Hostel was good, looked especially nice from the outside! Staff was nice, gave some nice suggestions to do. Location was good, a nice walk into the city center! I missed lockers in the dormitory. And I was very happy to read on the website that there would be internet. Well, I was very dissapointed to find out that it didn't work at all, and it didn't look like it was going to change soon when I asked the staff.

Word to the wise, look at the room before you give any money. If you change your mind about staying, you are out of luck. Less than 15 minutes elapsed between paying and going to the room and realizing it wasn't adequate. Went back to the front desk and were denied any renumeration. Very disappointing.

I recommend staying in this hostel. It is clean and has good facilities. The shower is a little annoying as you have to press the button every minute or so to keep the water running and there is no rack to leave the soap. the main down side to this place however is the staff. The staff are very unfriendly and apathetic which is such a shame considering how nice the hostel is. a warm welcome goes a long way and is very easy to give.
