Not much space between the bunk beds meaning only 1 of the 4 sleepers can access the under the bed locker at the time. Only 2 hooks on the wall to hang jackets for 4 people. Beds very basic but comfortable. No privacy whatsoever! Other hostels deal with this with roller blinds… plug sockets away from the beds so bring a long cable (like a 2-3 meters one. Toilets and showers are at the very end of a long corridor so if you need a wee in the middle of the night get ready for an excursion. The gents toilets were either blocked, out of service or in a very bad state. None of the 5 toilet doors would close because the entire frame was out of place. The bar (although painfully slow) and the breakfast were good and the atmosphere was young and vibrant.

Okay. Bathrooms very tired and broken locks. The bedrooms didn’t have shelves or even a hook. Just one overhead light in room, individual beds could have benefitted from personal light and charger point. Woken twice in the night by noise. Clean sheets. Decent food and drinks. Staff were lovely.

The place has a fun vibe and most of the staff is quite good. However, during my second stay there was a new lady who appeared to be completely uninterested and for some reason gave me the worst rooms possible even after I mentioned the first room was a dump with no windows and 8 people crammed inside a small space (how is that even legal?) I hope and believe that it wasn’t on purpose but later when I tried to change the guys were wonderful and helpful and assisted with request. It’s a great hostel but they need to have more female dorms. It’s not fair to be forced to sleep next to drunk and smelly boys on a week night or any night for that matter.
