Although the hostel was very close to a train station which was helpful, it didn’t feel that safe. The front door was broken, the lock on our dorm was dodgy and at one point I was locked out. The staff were polite but not always in reception when needed. The room wasn’t clean and the bathroom was falling apart. The sheets seemed to be clean but the bed was very uncomfortable and felt very unstable. The shower cubicle in the room was literally a cubicle with no space to get dressed.

I would stay away from this accomodation if possible. Not only was there domestic violence, literal drilling into the wall for an hour and a half, only one plug per room, nothing was very clean but the shower also didn’t work (no water). The common area is very uninviting and the wifi didn’t work. Would never stay again.

We gave the reception lady Scottish pound notes for the key deposit and she thought they were fake. She really took her time to give us the key and tell us which room we had to go to and it was already 1.30am and we were tired from our trip and all we wanted to do was rest. The rest of the staff was really nice and friendly except for that one lady, idk what her name was but she was there the night we arrived (nov 9) the toilets didn’t flush properly, and it sometimes smelled like pipelines
