Good location, Very basic surroundings
Budget hostel, in good location. Very cheap and cheerful. Rooms were very basic, but clean. Stayed with family (3 kids), it worked as a place to lay your head. A little noisy at night, plenty of students staying there etc. Overall satisfactory but nothing you'll be writing home about

They have the most helpful staff here. We had all kinds of issues booking and all errors were quickly resolved by the staff. Yes it is a bare bones hostel but could not have been better for our stay.

Excellent, helpful staff and the private rooms are comfortable with good furniture. No guest refrigerator and extra charge for luggage keeping were downsides along with the worn, stained old carpets.

Its a nice, clean place near the city center. Only the windows were not in a good condition. In the winter definitly would be a problem in the summertime it was fine. Not noisy.

I stayed at this property for one night and had to leave, I didn't get a refund or any money off for the other 3 nights I had left, the bathroom had mould covering the seal but they have stated it didn't, it's overall unhygienic.
