This hostel was the worst I have stayed at across Europe and the UK. The shower had to constantly be mopped while it was running so that the water didn’t leak under the door and into the dorm. The hostel had limited security so several, seemingly homeless people would loiter in the common area. The outside of the hostel also seemed to be a popular area for people to congregate at night so it was very loud. There’s also no lockers to put your bags and the luggage room is down 2 flights of stairs.

Not great. Very annoying actually for a few reasons: the epiderm was as big as most forfeit dorms, and had their metal bunkbeds squeezed together in a tiny room. There was no locker large enough to store anything more than your passport. The bathrooms had sinks with missing handles. The sink themselves for annoyingly small such the water spilled on the ground almost every time you try to wash your hands. The Wi-Fi cut out every few minutes. The charging port on the wall would randomly stop charging. Overall
