Everything was good at this hostel except for the bathrooms. There was only one or two girls cleaning the bathrooms so it only got done once a day and it should of got cleaned like three times. Location was great. and rooms where decent.

Our room was not cleaned when we arrived and it resulted in us having to bring this to the staff's attention and therfore ment we couldnt settle into our room.

The two bed room that we had was very small, but the location is perfect and the staff is really helpful and kind. Be advised that the men showers are REALLY shared (two showers side by side with no speration in between). So if you don't like to take your showers with other people, that can be a problem, but during my short stay (2 days), I was always alone in the shower. The girls shower are separate.

This place was fantastic for a last minute necessity booking. The fact there are no locks on the doors, or lockers is a bit of a security issue, but really most of the backpackers are honest lovely people! Quite clean, and very cheap. Decent kitchen and Common room.

It is literally in the city centre. (0.2 miles from train station) Toilets and showers are really clean. Only problem is that the dorms do not have locks.
