The Hostel was ok, but i did not like the fact that the kitchentowels for drying the dishes were used to clean the kitchen. The towels were always very dirty and the kitchen was quite nasty, it smelled like mould.

Brilliant Location!! Had trouble using the wireless in my room, but no big deal. Easy enough to hang out in the common room and use it in there, or the PC's. Would stay there again and highly recommend this hostel.

Hostel located near everything you need: bus station, tourist information, Eyre Square, pubs, etc. The staff was helpful and friendly. The dorm was nice, not too small, but there were only was plug in the room. The toilets and showers were far from the room (they were on a different floor). The common room is in the kitchen and it is quite small.

Place a little bit noisy (all the room are in front of the commune place). Rooms are corrects. Good situation (near ligne 4 and 2). Just, personnal has very unfriendly and looks so boring to help us.

Although this Hostel was handy to most attractions it was quite rowdy with bar patrons on the adjoining streets. Parking a vehicle could be a problem in the narrow accessway which was littered with rubbush
