It's a student hostel used as a backpackers in the off season so the social space is limited and it's a 20 EUR deposit to use the kitchen! Rooms are large but not dorms and beware of the change of bus number in the evenings and the weekends

Very clean and spacious room. It is not easy to find at all. I think I got ripped off by taking the shuttle taxi from this hostel.

Easy bus ride into town, but lacked character and social space, felt really empty. Clean though, and really big rooms. We had booked a 4 bed dorm but got a twin ensuite with a terrace which was nice! Fine if you're just looking for a bed.

The written directions to get to this place are correct. But the map is totally wrong! I ended up driving way out of the city centre trying to find the place. Just remember it is close enough to the football stadium. I have to say, there is not much to do around the hostel. So if you don't have a...

They also like to try and charge obscene deposits to use the kitchen area!! Pay the extra and stay in the centre!close

The black lady worked as summer job was very nice.She helped me to find out an cheap internet cafe which only cost 1 EUR per hour. Kitchen is big but you need to pay 20 EUR as deposit.

Location wasnt brilliant but regular buses into the city centre. University accomodation rented out for the summer but very clean, large rooms with balcony and ensuite bathrooms. Also got a free t-shirt!! Great value for the money spent.

The hostel was hard to access as I got to the train station after 7:30pm which is when the bus stops. I had to get a ten euro taxi. The room was clean and spacious and I had it to myself. The bathroom was fine except the shower didnt drain. Staff were very friendly.

Lovely big rooms and bathrooms make for a comfortable stay. Friendly staff. Beds and linen were superbly clean but floors not quite so clean... there were fishmoths everywhere... may need to spray my suitcase before I get home!

It is a short bus ride away from train and bus stations. The staff are very nice and the rooms are spacious with lockable wardrobes. Negatives are it is student accomodation meaing no common room, internet, washing etc and therefore not a good environment to meet others.

The room was so nice. Space is also quite nice as well. But, The staff was so unkind. They didn't try to operate their hostel because they are student.

The staff were really welcoming and great fun! The rooms were clean and comfortable and very secure. The location wasn't ideal but there were regular buses into the centre from a nearby stop. We really enjoyed our time there.

miles away... directions suck, and it is like a vacuous hole, but when there are no other options what do you do?

Wonderful large room, nice quite location. Good bus service - but not late at night. Very helpful friendly staff. The place was student accommodation let out for the summer so no amenities (no hotel like facilities) which was fine by me.

Hated it. The room is was allocated was unclean. The fridge was not operational. I also had a personal issue that could have been resolved with a little compromise from the hostel staff and they proved to be completely unhelpful.

Not much information about anything, far from historical center... in fact it's a student dorm that turns into hostel only for august. Apart from receiving the money and giving you the keys they don't don anything else. No internet, no towels.

It's an old hospital! Out of the way, but the staff were nice and it was a bit novel.
