Hostel was fantastic, great location, friendly & helpful staff, great breakfast included and good facilities. Bathrooms were all really clean as was the dorm. One complaint is that it was unbelievably hot inside the dorm, so much so that I couldn't sleep even with the fan on. No complaints apart from that though and really can't go wrong with the price!

Again it was a great stay at Isaacs, but unfortunately we had the tiny tiny room. I know there are bigger ones - but okay... Breakfast was alright as always (tea,coffee, orange juice, milk, jam, cereals and toast). I can recommend Isaacs ;-)

I was extremely happy with the choice of this hostel. We managed to get a three person room, so we had the privacy of a hotel for a fraction of the price. The only thing was that it was a bunk bed with a double bottom so my friend and I had to share a bed for three nights and the room was tiny..the upside- our room was always nice and toasty (don't turn the heating on at night- you don't need it!). Other than that, maybe more kitchen utencils..otherwise brilliant! I recommend the pub crawl!
