The staff kept this place very clean. Id say the downfall here is the size of the kitchen. It's super small and challenging to prep or even use the kettle.

10/10 Exceptional

Still new to staying at Hostels but places like these definitely make me feel it's not so bad to share a room with strangers. Every thing was very clean, staff was friendly and helpful. The area is right around the corner to a main busy street but somehow it was tucked away and quiet. Easy to walk to public transportation. Would definitely not mind staying here again.

8/10 Very good

The location and building were fantastic, the bed was a bit small and cramped and with there was a small shelf on the inside. After discovering the larger toilets and showers on the second floor, that part of the stay was much better. The ones on the first floor, particularly the toilets are far too small.
