  • - The 10 Bed Fem Dorm Ensuite is very pretty, but not practical. One toilet for 10 women is nightmarish. There's not a single mirror in the bedroom also. - Not enough sockets in the bedroom. - Not very clean. - Shower is awful - you can choose between boiling or iced water. + Location is perfect. + Friendly and helpful staff. + 25% discount on food for guests at the Belushi's. Food is not that great, but it's cheap. + Good lockers under the beds.

  • Great localization, nice staff at the reception. I left my bag till 2 pm without payment. But: 1. when i arrived my linen was dirthy but the staff immediately helped me to solve this problem. 2. room 402 was really smelly because of chimney from indian restaurant which was just behind the window. We couldn't open window till 3 am, so it was stinky and stifing in the room. After one night my hair, skin and clothes were smelly like old indian food! 3. toilet tanks didn't work in room 402

  • I enjoyed the bar/hostel environment until it came to sleeping. We were one floor up from the bar and there was live music both nights that was unbearably loud.

  • I stay in the 6 beds room. The two best things in this hostel are tidy and helpful staff. However,two things unsatificting me, firstly the room is so tiny and seconly is no kitchen and only small living room where even has no facilities to make tea or coffee. But in general, it's a place suitable for guests who like to eat out and drink cause it provide a bit cheaper foods and drinks for guests.

  • I really did enjoy my stay in this hostel. Staff very handy and nice the make you feel as if you are in hotel. Great location very close to bus station. the only bad thing: the matresses are very thin and very painful so need to be changed for better one
