The room was filthy. No bins meant that there was bathroom (and room) waste piled up the bathroom floor next to the toilet. The staff were a but odd and it was as if they were trying to hide something. I was booked for 2 nights and found alternate accomodation, having paid already. I would not reccomend it particularly for females. I have stayed in a a lot of hostels and never found something so disgusting.

A strange place! It seems like this place is used as a homeless hostel as well as a backpackers one! We were in a room with other travellers though, so it was fine. Location is good and it's above a Lush soap shop so smells amazing!! I would maybe not use this place if i were alone (female) but in a group it's fine.

Staff was helpful and polite, great position, but all in all I wouldn't come back again. Not clean enough and too many beds in very small rooms.
