A city centre hostel within easy walking of everything: the beautiful old port, cathedral, award winning shopping district and wonderful mix of pubs, clubs, live music, restaurants and cafe scene.

Wouldn't stay here again. Everything was quite dirty and smelly. No warm showers, hand soap, clean toilets etc. I don't need much from a hostel but this didn't meet my needs... was glad to be in a dorm with some nice ladies though. Many long term residents, who all were quite friendly. Definitely not worth the money.

Felt more like a homeless shelter, or halfway house. Quite a few drunk/drugged out type’s hanging out here, clearly long term users. Didn’t feel safe, I nearly left immediately. Front doorstep smelt like urine. Facilities were old, tired, grubby, the whole place is in need of a complete redecorate, all the paint work is chipped and stained. Bedding was a bit gross, pillows flat, toilet hadn’t been cleaned in awhile a had stains/marks. Everything just felt quite grubby and was a bit smelly.

Staff are nice. Security is through one pin code that everyone knows and that doesn't seem to change. Hostel is distinctly smelly and somewhat unclean. I understand that people probably live there full time, but it was unwelcoming and unpleasant to be in - I would recommend staying elsewhere if you can. I was glad there was a women's only dorm, because I really didn't want to talk to some of the men that were staying there.
