It’s a lovely space, great area and great atmosphere especially downstairs. The only issue I had was in the room, there was no light from the tiny window so it was always dark, my curtain didnt fully close as it was broken and I was put in a room full of men. I booked a mixed room as a young woman I usually don’t mind, especially as when I booked female only were sold out or hiked up in price. It just meant I wasn’t fully comfortable. My locker was also the other side of the room from my bed.

Alright hostel, late checkin helped as someone who arrived late. lots of staff around but nobody seemed to work stations. (e.g. nobody at the bar) Minimal facilities for the number of people staying, but otherwise solid hostel.
