There is a very bad smell around the hostel, it’s very dirty, the showers don’t work properly, I was put in a room that had a maximum capacity of two people but there were four of us in there. The blanket I was provided was not clean and smelt like stale sweat. You get free toast in the morning though.

AWFUL- do not stay here Firstly majority of the staff are extremely rude, I wasn’t allowed to check in at 2pm and told to come back an hour later, as I came back they told me they had no bed sheets for me. Secondly the roof leaked all over my clothes and bags, luckily one staff member was extremely helpful. The rooms have no plugs next to your beds and the showers are vile, you’re better off spending a little more money and going somewhere else!
