"I stayed a couple of nights in a single room with a shared bathroom. It was simple, but clean and comfortable, and it had everything I needed for a short stay. I also liked that the shared bathrooms were single occupancy instead of having to share a bathroom with several other people using different stalls, as I've seen at other hostels. The location was convenient, and it was easily walkable to everything I needed."

6.4 out of 10, (30)
"The location of this place was great, and the staff were friendly. However the kitchen was dirty and had very few usable utensils or tools, the locks on the bathrooms didn't work, some of the lights wouldn't turn on, and all of the surfaces in our room were slightly sticky. Also, although I realise this isn't something the management have any control over, my children were exposed to language that I was extremely uncomfortable with from other guests."

"Stayed 2nights in private double. Late check in email stated room would be unlocked - it wasn't. Nobody answered the phone. We had to stretch in the window to unlock the door. The room stank. Really horrible old damp smell. Next day we were locked out of our room with our belongings inside "pending payment" - payment had been taken online already. Took 5 phone calls to get keys to our room sorted."
