Would have like to have the sink in the actual bathroom, instead everyone had to get in to the shower to get soap and wash their hands..bit uneccessary. The shower were a bit annoying.Small rooms, but good location. No readinglamps over some of the beds.Otherwise, a good place where I've stayed... more Would have like to have the sink in the actual bathroom, instead everyone had to get in to the shower to get soap and wash their hands..bit uneccessary.

The breakfast was good and organized, the facilities were clean, and the staff were very helpful in finding the best pubs and the best places to go for food and shopping. Aside from the water pressure in the shower going out on me once or twice, this was an incredible place to spend my time. Besides, the water pressure came back each time.close

Great hostel, nice & patient staff and a great place to be. The only complaint I have is the high cost to use the internet & the lack of free tea & coffee. After staying in a lot of hostels around the world I thought free tea & coffee would be standard, it makes such a difference.

Great location, just around the corner from the train station and main square and shopping district. Staff were helpful with sorting tours and other info. Good, basic but plentiful breakfast.
