It is often said that ONE employee will make ALL the difference in the impression a visitor forms. That was true of 'Milly,' a lovely Colombian mujer who went out of her way to assist me on arrival. It made ALL the difference in my stay! Thank you Milly!

Opted for a private double room. Hardly and space and bed very uncomfortable as 2 singles badly joined together. Staff at bar disinterested at times.. overcharging 2 times out of the 3 transactions. Would be unlikely to return here.

Excellent location, nice room set up. Loved the basket under the bed nice to not have to repackage your bag all of the time. Awesome that you could enjoy the bar but when in your room no sounds could be heard from it. Rooms were a little warm though understandable considering the unusually warm weather.

The staff was extremely rude for most of the time, but it was only one person we dealt with that was rude. She was always there though.

My room had a theme (Sherlock Holmes) which I found adorable, making the hostel have more character and feel less like they were trying to cram as much beds in as possible to make the most money. Speaking of the beds, they were the best bunks ever! All other hostels I have stayed at you just breath and the whole bunk shakes but these were as steady as a rock!!

One of the best hostel I've ever stayed at! mattress, linen, in-room shelters are all really good and functional. Bathroom was nice and clean, as the bedroom. Breakfast is good - milk, coffee, toasts, preserves etc. staff is all nice and the atmosphere in both bar and cafe are relaxed. Free wifi in all the common rooms, desktop computers need to be paid though. just one opportunity for improvement: more lockers for luggage storage as I've seen ppl waitin for one to be freed. 100% recommended!!

Especially the central location (next to Waverly Bridge) and the own Pub are excellent. The only negative: Our 6 bed room was extremely small... :( All in all good value for money... ;)

Problem, was no food service or anywhere to make your own. At 9:00 pm. the DJ was on and still no food service. I had been traveling all day and got there about 7 pm and starving. I went around the corner to the nice Italian resturant and it was fine. Other wise the location is good, by the train and next to AirLink for the airport. Also the gal at the counter was nice enough to give my money back for the lock that was too complicated to use!! Thanks for that and a pox on the cook!

Don't have looker. Everything you need you have to pay (to print, to use adaptador, to use towel, to use computer). Is not security. Is not clean. The toilets were verry verry verry horrible and is mix. I don't recommend this hostel.

My only real complaint is that the wireless Internet was often hard to connect to. I suspect this was a capacity issue.

Perfect location, discounts on all food and drinks, very helpful staff, and fairly comfortable rooms. I stayed in two different rooms, and the all girls room was decorated and very cute and had a lamp for each bed, but the mixed room didn't and wasn't decorated. Both rooms were en suite, but there are showers and bathrooms on the fourth floor if yours is full, since there were 10 people to a room.
