Was surprised by the quality of the hostel for how much it cost for our stay. The building/rooms were super dark, rundown, and overall stuffy. It was fine for the one night but I wouldn’t recommend staying here to a friend and wouldn’t stay again.

The beds are so low, you can't even sit on them. The mattresses are super hard. The shower is the worst shower I have ever used, having to push a button every 15 seconds to keep it running. The shower also has mould along the bottom, up the wall and on the ceiling. I considered paying for a hotel instead as this was disgusting. Would not recommend

Great location, nice staff. The breakfast is basic and they don’t have any food in the pub except for pizza, but is close to many places where to eat
