Kitchen was poorly stocked. 1 knife and it was a bread knife. 1 melted chopping board. Fridge froze all our food. Rooms were clean and bed comfortable.

Great location. I had a private double room and it was pretty comfortable. I was the only person in the hostel the first night and I felt pretty safe. I really liked the separate fridges for the rooms. It's a great way to make sure there's enough space for everyone.
