Close to most of the city and accessible to the public transport. Breakfast included is definitely a positive. Wish a towel and some sort of shampoo would’ve been included in the stay.

The staff member who was not initially welcoming, (white, older), was friendly afterwards and I had no further problems with him. Most of the staff were respectful and professional and understanding towards residents. Also the hostel is not hard to find. - (NOTICE; Descriptions of persons are simply that... descriptions.

The staff were very friendly and even offered to change my booking to a bottom bunk. The place was clean and close to where I wanted to be. I would definitely stay there again.

Jenny, United Kingdom

The breakfast was nice for a hostel, I've never seen a breakfast in a hostel before, so was ok! The bed was comfortable (at least when we could sleep) and the sheets looked clean. The hostel's location is nice, it's possible to go a lot of famous places by foot and the cost-benefit is ok.

“I coped. It could have been better. Thankfulto the staff who were professional and welcoming.”

The hostel was dirty in certain places, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms where I noticed grime that seemed to have been there for a long time. The bathrooms are very small and many drains in the bathroom sinks look repulsive, perhaps due to an ungoing build up of dirt. The tap of one bathroom sink, does not work. The shower door does not close properly, meaning that the water goes onto the bathroom floor. One receptionist (An older white man) who worked at night was not very welcoming. When I came in around 2AM he indicated that I should go to bed. Respectfully, I explained to him that people have different days from another and may sleep according to such and should not be told when to sleep. Another member of staff (slim, young and Asian), who I found sleeping on the couch in the living room, disrespectfully told me to leave him alone when I explained to him that a young man (short in height with blonde hair) who had initillay taken the bed that I was supposed to have had sent me rude messages on an app. Just to make the situation clear, this happened on Saturday night/Sunday morning and when the young man had previously taken my bed which was on Sunday night/Monday morning, the young man had talked disrespectfully to the receptionist and demanded that he would not give up the bed. On the social media app the young man sent vile messages to me, after I refused to have sex with him. Previously despite his disrespect towards the reception when I sore him on the morning, before he messaged me in the night, when he greeted me in the morning. I respectfully said hello. Perhaps due to my silence while the young man without manners demanded to sleep in the bed that was allocated to me, perhaps my silence was taken for acceptance. Maybe calm made me seem inferior. He showed no sympathy towards the cyber bullying I had experienced. I had to shout in order to express my upset. Not ideal for a student (Me) looking for brief residence.
The staff member who was not initially welcoming, (white, older), was friendly afterwards and I had no further problems with him. Most of the staff were respectful and professional and understanding towards residents. Also the hostel is not hard to find. - (NOTICE; Descriptions of persons are simply that... descriptions. Not racist / ageist/sexist etc references) .

I stayed 4 weeks, I was stuck there because I paid in advance and couldn't get refunded. BIG MISTAKE. The owners take advantage of the location, and prices are way too high for the place. You can find better, also in the center, and for cheaper. They don't invest any money in this place. The biggest problem, and now I'll tell you to RUN. They are BED BUGS! Not in every room, but still. Disgusting. The owners know perfectly and no matter what they say they don't do much about it. They don't even give full refunds to the travelers that wake up to the horror that they have been infested. Not even a full refund. I have witnessed one of the owner playing dumb to a tourist complaining, pretending she didn't understand what she said and didn't know anything about bed bugs. This is shamefull. In addition, facilities and cleanliness are not better. The bed really sucks, I know it's a hostel, I've been to many hostel, but this is the worst. Bathrooms and rooms are not regularly and/or thoroughly cleaned. The hallways in the upper floors will often start smelling at the end of the day and all night, sometimes still in the morning, because of the showers and toilets. The kitchen is not well equipped, there's barely anything to cook, and the cleaning isn't great either. And they have the audacity of sending you an email when you check out, asking you not to post bad reviews online because it's bad for business. You deserve the bad review.

“Okay for a single night stay.”

The bed was a little uncomfortable in terms of space. It was a middle bunk and there was a chewing gum stuck on the top, which I saw once I tugged in. Also, the dorm had no ventilation/window, hence, was dingy and smelled a bit because of the same. The locality seemed a bit shady. The overall lighting in the area could be better.
The staff was very nice and courteous. The breakfast arrangement was also fine. The lounge area was pretty spacious and clean.
