Great hostel. Clean and fun! Would come back again. Would be great if directions from the train and bus station to the hostel are provided. Also would be better if signages to the hostel entrace is put up or mentioned on the site. Otherwise, very very great hostel with nice and friendly staffs!!

We had a amazing time and loved our stay at Franks. The staff were very professional and the service was extremely impressive. We liked our first nights here so much that we can back again to stay a few days later as well. We had a real sense of belonging and loved the people! Thanks

Good location. Seems to attract the stag night crowd, so a little uncomfortable for the solo female traveller. Otherwise if you want a bed, in a clean hostel in a central location, it is fine.
