Hostel review

Bed was comfy, bathroom was a bit grim. TV didn’t work, bit noisy at night but it is a hostel so to be expected. WiFi was good, kitchen was available but we didn’t use it though.
Jack, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Basic accommodation, but very clean, and staff relaxed and helpful.
Anthony, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Minus: My room was just sufficient, but not practical. And at night I had to tape cardboard on the window pane to screen from the outside electrical light, and to darken the room enough for sleep. Plus: good location, good atmosphere, good facilities.
