Stayed in private room. It was only a mattress on the floor. For 85 dollars should be at least TV and toilet in the room. Guys, never stay there in private room, find another place.

The place was ok, no atmosphere. The staff were friendly enough, but it felt like I had missed the party by 5 years, everything taty and dated. The beds were incredibly thin-could feel the bed slats under the mattress. The dorm stank, and the toilets and showers had been repaired badly. I only stayed one night, so that was ok, but needs a total refit!! Nothing in comparison to nomads and base (which i don't like) but at least they are updated and there's some atmosphere.

no character or atmosphere Cleanliness - the basics were cleaned daily - but everything else was grimy. The kitchen looked so dirty and as its in a basement it was stuffy and birds flying about (although they are cute i did not want them in a kitchen) - Facilities worst of all - how I can describe this is a forgotten hostel - probably ok 15 years ago but now everything is forgotten and broken and old and the beds are the worst - paper thin mattress!! I wouldn't recommend this!

Because so many people stay for a long time, cleanliness in the rooms are very poor. The kitchen could be much cleaner, maybe undergo renovation. But the location is superb!

It would be nice to have more tools in the kitchen, like cups, plates, forks, knives,... And the kitchen is not that clean. Apart from that I loved staying there!

People raising hell in the kitchen at 12am, when there was a sign saying that after 11pm be quiet. Nobody at the staff ever showed up to warn them. Wifi cost was ridiculous, one can't do anything without internet. Mens bathroom was dirty and smelly. Just Awful.
