It's a basic clean environment that's in a really good location. Communal areas aren't super comfortable but they meet basic needs. I had a a few instances where men had "forgotten the password" and wanted to come in with me. At the least this is entitled privilege, at worst it can be dangerous. Hope management can work on that.

Great location, clean, and no curfew with self check-in. However, the hostel runs fully on access codes with no reception or staff support (only cleaners). After booking via Hostelworld, they emailed asking for my CVV, which felt insecure, so I gave it by phone. Access codes arrived only 10 minutes before check-in, leaving me waiting in the lounge and unsure about the process. Once inside, though, it was comfortable and easy. So just heads up regarding the payment !

Good enough to park your car and put your head down for the night. I didn’t see any staff at all. Keyless entry to front door and room. Codes sent via email. Good enough free wifi.
