It'd be easy to rip in to this place but if you're after a cheap stopover for no more than a couple of days then it's probably a good enough choice. Anything more than that and you'd be better off paying a little more. Bathrooms were a state (holes in cubicles, never cleaned, damp) there's a lack of cutlerey and crockery in the kitchen, and the hobs are sub-standard for cooking anything quickly (i.e. can't boil water). Plenty of fridge space, but the place needs some serious TLC!!!

This hostel was the worst hostel I have ever stayed. Room was dirty. Storage room was toilet. Staffs were so rude. I would not stay here ever again.

The place needs to be shut down for the winter and given a make-over: new paint, new carpet, new furniture etc etc. The room had a very unwelcoming smell. I appreciated the free transfer from the airport on arrival, and the price was good.

great location and great place to meet people. however, there are broken showers, the kitchen is too small and you cant really make meals cause the equipment in the kitchen is not working well. it seems like the hostel staff dont really care aboutthose kind of things and its sad. i know the hostel can do much more better, but decides not to....

the so called 'kitchen' is a joke, if you don't want to spend money eating outside I wouldn't recommend this hostel. Also hard to find somewhere to charge anything (also the kitchen works for that...).

You get what you pay for. The maze hostel is located centrally. The hostel is very big, and the kitchen facilities are poor (hobs and microwaves). There is a TV room with cable. The rooms are not air con (there are fans) and can get stuffy however the beds are clean and a great sleep. No lockers in the rooms, and payable ones on 1st floor. No wall sockets in the rooms. The bathrooms are ok, showers are not great. Check in on average is 30mins and it is same for check out. You pay to leave your

the room i was in smelled bad. the kitchen was very small and cramped and they only had 3 stove tops for the entire hostel, which made cooking virtually impossible
