"I spent 1 night in a double room (though single) and paid the price for 2 people which is absolutely unfair and very expensive for hat it was; moreover the kitchen there was very dirty; nobody at the reception desk told me about the free coffee/tea all the day through ; I spent the next 2 days in another room (other part of the hostel), smaller but much more sympathetic, even with a light beside my bed, the kitchen next to it very clean, so was the bathroom (even 2 bathrooms) for mid-price." — source Hostelworld
"The price was very expensive for a room with a shared kitchen and a shared bathroom that did not work either, meaning I had to go out walk round the corner get in the hostel and find a bathroom there." — source Hostelworld
"Could use a few extras, like a shower that stays on longer, lockers, and reading lights, and the beds were a bit squeaky and old, but still a great place to stay and good value." — source Hostelworld
"For the cost the place was small, the heating system horrible, the beds uncomfortable and the noise was totally unacceptable." — source Hostelworld
"Hated the in-person vs internet price differences, the price jumps, the bad wireless internet." — source Hostelworld
