Really good space to access the city with ease! Not far from the centre, easy access to bus/train station. Hostel organised pub crawl was fun! Would fully recommend for a short stay on a budget! The staff were friendly and helpful on arrival, check in and check out were super easy!!! Staff member was a little rude when I didn’t quite understand the phrasing of a question and the showers were a bit poor as lights didn’t work, but apart from that it was really great!

Love the sleeping pods, you get total privacy. Very easy to find your way there, good location and staff is helpful although some of them had a little attitude. Only complaint is that the bathrooms and showers have this permanent awful smell that you just have to get used to lol

The stay was great, we had so much fun. We went to the sister hostel to get some drinks and join the pub crawl. It was really fun and made some new friends. Being in the quiet hostel instead of the party hostel was also good. Because we could easily sleep when we came back from all our activities on day one and two. If you really just want to party, book the sister hostel(WWW). But if you want to party and still have some time for yourself you should book Main Square.
