Location, the bed was comfortable, amenities and kitchen
The kitchen bins could be emptied a bit more regularly, though I did see them changed just maybe not enough for the volume of guests
9 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2026
I was really impressed. Had a great experience. Rooms were clean and tidy. Bathrooms too. Comman shared areas were great, and had things on each night. Local amazing. Awesome location. One of my most favourite hostels.
One other person in my room were really rude, talked loudly and were up and down late into the night. Yet not a reflection of the venue, just luck of the draw.
6 / 10Average·May 2026
Very good location
There is no control in the social areas. Many people are in the hallways at midnight, 1 a.m., and at all hours of the night, shouting and speaking loudly, which makes it impossible to rest properly.
