DO. NOT. STAY. HERE.
Nobody who worked there was there, we were let in by a guest who the 'owner' had left in charge.
No heating. The roof leaked all into the carpet. No internet. No electricity on 1 floor. No toilet paper. Dirty sheets. The filthiest place I have ever seen, more like a homeless squat than a hostel.
No locks on the doors. We had drunk men breaking into our room of girls, shouting and smoking a 4am. Very scary.
People smoked everywhere, in the rooms, kitchen. Disgustng.DO. NOT. STAY. HERE.

This is a top hostel, dont listen to all these other moaners. Its a savage location, staff are sound, the rooms are big, the people in it are good fun unless they are the same ones moaning about security and cleanliness. Best attribute of the hostel is its lack of security, as in if you somehow manage to pull a girl you will have no hassle strolling back in with her! Its the best for a two day drining session up with your mates.This is a top hostel, dont listen to all these other moaners.

A nice place to stay when everything else is booked. The rooms dont have keys or locks at all, so anyone can walk in anywhere. The kitchen is very well equipped but very old and needing some TLC. The guy that runs the place was great, really friendly and chatty. The rooms were drafty, cold and had no curtains, but overall its an ok bed in a great city.

The place is being run by a seventeen year old kid. The only door that locks is the front door, and half the time it doesn't ever get locked. we walked right in at 2 A.M. with no problems.The place is being run by a seventeen year old kid.
