Overall this is a perfectly good hostel. Great location, added extras like free breakfast, free city tour, free beer. Only draw back is that the hostel is a bit run down and there is a lack of communal bathrooms. I was in a room of 6 with an ensuite on the 7th floor so when someone was using the shower, the only other available toilet was in the bar on the ground floor so that was a bit of a pain. Apparently theres a bathroom on the 2nd floor but I could never find it.
