Excellent service. Great room. Clean and tidy. Good facilities. Unfortunately someone stole some of our food from the kitchen and some people didn't clean up after themselves in the kitchen which is stink for others. But otherwise it was awesome.

Minus: My room was just sufficient, but not practical. And at night I had to tape cardboard on the window pane to screen from the outside electrical light, and to darken the room enough for sleep. Plus: good location, good atmosphere, good facilities.

Hostel review

Bed was comfy, bathroom was a bit grim. TV didn’t work, bit noisy at night but it is a hostel so to be expected. WiFi was good, kitchen was available but we didn’t use it though.
