Traveller's reviews and ratings
As the hostel was his official two star review I don't know when the very dirty showers and toilets. The shower in the lower floor has leaked on the second day. Only a key card for a room. The breakfast was OK, the staff was very fierce.

It served its purpose, would not recommend to families, but for somewhere to put your head down for the night its ok. Did not experience any mice!
Could do with being a little cleaner.

Lovely to have a hostel include breakfast. Clean showers but slightly broken in our room. Very clean and tidy. Not much of a kitchen for food prep. Needs more than one key card for the dorms - only one card to the room made it tricky for getting in and out of the room. I can't wouldn't mind paying a deposit for a personal key card
