We really liked our time in this hostel. The people were amazing. Not the cleanest of hostels in the world and needs some work, but we loved our time here and the staff were excellent.

The hostel needs a really good clean and sort out. Alex is helpful but not always around and sometimes you cant find any staff at all. The showers are all cold and twice during our stay there was no water at all! There re nicer places to stay in the same area.
