Perfect Hostel if you are only around for a few days, right in the district. Don't stay here for more than a few days though.

Its fine if you like listening to hookers and pimps shouting all night. cockroaches come for free as well!

Excellent locations, would stay there again. Not the most clean hostel I've been in but it's a busy understandable situation. Lot's of great people to meet in similar situations to yourself.

I stayed in a 12 bed mix but room turned out to be all men. Not creepy at all. Toilets and shower were small and dirty. Security lockers were big. Right in the heard of red light district so the location was great except every hour and even quarter intervals a bell clock rang so make sure to bring ear plugs. The bar downstairs is perfect for late night hangouts but I don't think I'd stay there again because it was not as clean as one would hope.

_very_ small room (we couldn't even open the door comepletly because the bed was in the way), but the location makes up for it 100% don't go there if you are a light sleeper, a lot of noises from everywhere.

OK hostel in the heart of the action, but not overly clean or fun. St Christophers is a better choice.. 25% food in the bar downstairs is handy though. Full Irish breakfast cures any ill-effects of the night before..

You come here for the location, that's it. Don't book more than a few days as it will start to become a little unbearable if you like your sleep but you just can't beat the location.

Excellent location, security not bad either for being in the centre of the red light district! Could use reading lamps in the room though, or some kind of small tiny discrete light attached to the bed or close to the bed for night-time... excellent choice to be close to the action!

I don't know what we read, but we were fooled. The rooms were pig pens and the bathrooms were realllly gross. nothing is kept up. the beds were comfy and we met fun people so that made our stay worthwhile. its in a good spot, but not worth all the hype...you have to pay for food in the bar below and while they do have a good happy hour that is the only place you can socialize besides your room.

This is in the red light district around a lot of "Coffeeshops" If you are into smoking and fungus this is a great location, unfortunaltly for us there isn't a big club/party scene immeadiately nearby.
