I have two review chances dear webmaster because I booked for one day and for 3 days :). Small rooms for 6 people. Some hostels are greater than that. And has same size rooms for three people. Price should be lower. There is no laundry, no need to stay more than 2-3 days. It is not open 7/24 they give you a key. Although everyone has key, some people may enter with his friends and stay for free. This is a security problem.

They took the full price from my credit card, even though we never got to stay because of flight delays. Apparently it's "policy", but most other hostels are more accomodating in situations which are out of anyone's control. I'm now $120 out of pocket for nothing!

A brilliant place to go and stay. Its not too far from the station and even a taxi ride from the city to the hostel is cheap and easy! Everyone at the hostel is lovely and so willing to help. I would definitely go back.
