    not the worst hostel I've stayed in but not great... bedding was ripped, frayed and thin. clearly had been used many many times and the sheet didn't fit the mattress properly. everything in the hostel seemed a bit grubby and old. I had to leave early in the morning but as you have to pay a key deposit I had to return my key before the bar shut that evening which meant I had to cut my night short. on the plus side, the room was larger than most I've stayed in and nice and airy.
