Bit hot and smelly but good atmosphere
Pretty good for the money. Nice atmosphere from the moment you walk in. Definitely stay in the smaller dorm than the larger ones.

2/10 Poor

Bed bugs
Sadly got bites from bed bugs. First and last time here. The bunk bed was basic but creaked everytime the girl above moved. Couldn’t sleep because of this. I stayed here as I was going to a work event in the evening and just needed a place to lay my head. The bed bug bites were upsetting to say the least.

6/10 Good

Cheap room, good location. Only one small fridge and pretty strict rules meant I had in-date food thrown out twice. Kitchen is also closed at meal times for staff to make food for guests. And when it opens back up is at the discretion of staff on the day, they dont follow the set times. Bathrooms often flooded, and missing toilet paper. Rooms dont have fans which is an issue in the summer. Lock boxes under the bed are too small for bags. Staff were ok. Polite and attentive, but not particularly friendly (to me anyway).

6/10 Good

Friendly, helpful staff. Good hot free breakfasts and dinners. Didn’t like the fact that reception allowed homeless people with just a plastic bag of clothes book in at 2am in the morning. Two nights in a row the whole room was woken up by drunk residents. One was aggressive, the other was just inconsiderate. Otherwise, a great place to stay.

8/10 Very good

people at hostel very social. some people were weird, but that's everywhere. the female dorm was clean and the fellow stayers were extremely supportive. free breakfast was like reheated heinz beans, hotdog wieners boiled, eggs, pancakes, toast, cereal. 7pm dinner was free if you signed up early enough. there is a female only bathroom n shower. everything was clean. no mold. no laundry though. close to main attractions. wifi hit or miss lowkey. staff was sweet. very active and social at night. the age range was from 20s to 30s, but there were many older stayers as well. There is a cat, the cat was cute. make sure you have shower shoes. ask for the bottom bunk. clean plates and there is a fridge.

Not often stayed in a hostel with so many amenities and extras, like the free breakfast, evening meals and drinks. Didn’t have the best nights sleep but this was due to the people in the room, which the hostel can’t do anything about!
