We had people puking (vomitting) in our room, we had people drinking vodka all night, we had drunk people sleeping in our beds, we had a sleepwalking person.... the bathroom was incredibly dirty.

Good location. Very clean, new. Poor ventilation in the bathroom and when you take a shower, the entire bathroom floor gets wet. No alcohol allowed on premises. Very quiet hostel.

I didn't like the way the shower went everywhere all over the bathroom meaning the floor got horribly muddy as it took ages to dry. Generally otherwise it was clean. The common areas seemed very small for the amount of guests, and generally the place doesn't have much of an atmospehere.

Free WiFi and breakfast. If you need a party hostel than this place is good. It is REALLY close to all the bars. The room didn't have a fan and it had one bathroom/shower for 8 people. The room steamed up with each shower and we couldn't air out the room (really hot). The rooms were brand new and... more Free WiFi and breakfast. If you need a party hostel than this place is good.

I was annoyed that there was no partition between the shower and rest of the restroom. Even when pulling the shower curtain closed, when you are finished with your shower there is water all over the floor of the restroom.
