4/10 Fair

Appreciate this was a budget stay but I still expect the room to be clean, which it really wasn’t. The bed was covered in hair and the floor felt really dirty under foot. Would suit backpackers / students more so than families / couples

2/10 Poor

Would not recommend.

Our room was smaller than expected, bathroom sink and shower wasn’t draining properly. Customers have to pay for their luggage to be stored is greedy! Bright note, the staff was friendly and it was in good walking radius of everything.

Overall great stay!! Would return

Stayed in a 6-bed private room - fantastic price and amazing location! Beds and pillows were comfy. Great activites in the hostel. Downsides were the 1. noise of the nightclub that takes place on a Friday night, it went on until 3am I think 2. The bathroom sink is in the middle of the room and not in the toilet, just makes it loud when you wash your hands in the middle of the night Overall a great stay and I would recommend it and return here!

10/10 Exceptional

The property was great for us as a family. We were busy all day and just needed somewhere to rest our heads and feet from all the walking we did. It would have been nice to have towels provided and being British, we’d have loved a kettle for making our own hot drinks. It was clean and warm, the shower was lovely and powerful, and the staff were accommodating. We were early for check in but they kindly offered us a different room which was ready. They warned that being directly above the bar it maybe noisy, especially as we were staying over the weekend, but it was not a problem for us at all.

Do not stay here if coming with kids!

Terrible experience, definitely not a great place for families, no towels in the room, beds were uncomfortable. Bathroom smelled like piss. This is for sure more of a backpacking trip hostel for college kids.

10/10 Exceptional

We had a 14-hour overnight layover and didnt want to sleep at the airport. The hotels by the airport are insanely expensive but the trains run 24/7, so we decided to try this place out. It's quirky and has wonderful artwork/murals all around. It's so centrally located that we were able to absorb a LOT of the local flavor during just a 2 hour morning walk. Will definitely go back there and spend more time.
