2nd time I've stayed here, perfect location for access to the city and station. The staff are all beyond lovely and happy to help! I would suggest booking double bunks rather than triple if you want a bit more room to sit on your bed etc! Great place very affordable, friendly, clean and comfy!

cleaning is required, lightings needs to be adjust in both toilet and bathroom since they were switching off automatically even when the person was inside. That’s about it. Overall it was alright, safe and convenient.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The area was in a great location. My room had a private bathroom but no hot water for the shower. The room was also cold with no way to turn up the heat. The hostel makes you pay for a towel and service can be a bit slow. On the plus side the room was nicely decorated and the bed was comfortable. The views from the window were stunning.
