I slept so well here … the girl who greeted me was super helpful. The staff in the morning a little less helpful, they were new. Overall great Hostle and good location. Ticked all the boxes for a good hostel.

Mid hostel all round. When I arrived after an incredibly long journey there was no one at the desk so I had to go and find someone to help me, and I was met with a rude manner. The communal area is dark and there was no atmosphere. I enjoyed the pub crawl with the sister hostel but it cost €20 to join.
