71%Young & Happy

The staffs are helpful. Convenient to any location by metro. Lots of food shop around. A supermarket just next door. Provide a kitchen, so you can save your budget.

The only objection is they kick you out at 11 am and you can't come back to the hostel until 4 pm

U can't even regulate the water at the bathroom.It was really cold and the water wasn't hot enough! really hard to make international phone calls from the hostel. There was no fun at the hostel.close

The bunk bed in our room was shaky that we thought it might fall apart. I also found a bit strange to pay for my sheets which I might understand in a dormitry but a Twin bed room & for that price? The whole building could use a really good refurbishment which should include putting sinks in all the toilets.close

There was no security! The lock on our door was broken! As for the staff, Craig was nice, but the other was a jerk... There seemed to be only 1 bathroom for the whole building.

It's one of the worst hostel (I mean the facility) I ever stayed. There is nothing in order to protect us from falling down from the upper bed. It's really bad. All the night I was afraid that I would fall down from my bed. So, I can not sleep well. Furthermore, the bed is very old and always make a lot of noise. I can not find the bathroom. Only one basin is in our room. Frankly speaking, it's not a good choice considering the terrible facility of this hostel.close

The shower/bathroom scenario was really not the best. One could certainly manage, but again it wasn't ideal.

I didn't spend much time in the hostel itself but I found it to be quite nice. It was a bit annoying having to go to the floor above to use the toilet but not a big deal. I would definitely stay here again.

The lack of lockers makes storage insecure. But more importantly, several of the bathrooms have no sinks for washing your hands. That's just gross. Finally, they nickel-and-dime you for sheets and even charge a security deposit on the room key.

This was the most disgusting hostel I have ever stayed in. The bathrooms were absolutely filthy, with hair everywhere, no soap, etc. There were only two showers for an entire floor to share. The dorm rooms stunk and the beds were uncomfortable. Do not stay here.

Really great location and close to the sights, great for price too. Only suggestion would be to give the bathroom floors a wash but other than that a great place to stay, would be back.

Small, rickety hostel, they squash way too many people into the rooms for their size, and not enough toilets/ showers to people ratio, toitets dirty and dusty. lots of hidden costs, like bed linen. Nice, fair staff though, and in a good loaction, and with a "traditional" vibe.

There was always the danger of my things being stolen, although nothing was ever stolen. If you're in a suite with other people, only those people can get in (via cards), but nevertheless, they have access to your things, potentially. The bathrooms and showers were of abject filth, and I hated...
