Average stay at this hostel where I expected better!
- The staff are super friendly and helpful.
- The location is quite good and the rooms have lockers.
- The wifi connection is poor throughout the whole hostel.
- The kitchen had only 1 cooking frying pan 🍳 which is annoying.
- The beds do not have a charging point or electricity socket next to them.
- The bunk beds are high and do not have a railing on the side to hold too in case you fall so didn’t feel so safe up high on them.
