Hostel was okay for short term stay. Pros: helpful reception staff, location in the West End means you’re very close to good drinks/food. Nice kitchen and pool area. Cons: didn’t feel super comfortable in the hostel. Lots of long term guests, so wasn’t the most friendly atmosphere. People smoked everywhere, including directly outside the rooms. So even though my room was clean, it still smelt and had a dirty feel to it. Was also noisy as people always outside.

A lot of weed smoking on site staff did nothing to discourage this. A large number of long term residents who did not make short term stayers feel welcome. Additionally the noise level in the evening was too much. Shower facilities were not up to scratch compared to other hotels of similar price ranges. As a man it was near impossible to have a shave using such a small sink.
