very central location. lovely staff. as usual in YHA\'s they have a large well equipped kitchen, nice clean showers. good pool table + lounge area found the security lockers a bit expensive, why not just provide a safety deposit box at reception.

The staff here are extremely helpful and friendly. They give excellent advice on which trips are best and how to get them at a discounted price. This is an example of how all hostels should be run.

hated this hostel, Bloke behind the desk needs to either get the sack or learn a bit of customer service and learn how to serve more than one person at a time when you have qued for over 15 mins for internet its a joke.So glad other people said the same
