Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very hot room windows couldn’t open ,a lot of weedsmoking and drinking at the hostel The place is worn down, doors couldn’t lock, very dirty, management was almost nonexistent except one British girl who was fine. The hostel is a bit out of control with almost no supervision. I do not know who owns this hostel? But the owner should be a shame running a hostel like that Will definitely not recommend this place and will never stay there again

This review is only getting 1 star because of the lovely, helpful and approachable staff who couldn’t do any more for you and the location. Other than that it was dirt, warm down and quiet honestly needs to have a full refurbishment. I would suggest only staying here if your absolutely desperate

The room was really dirty and the pod bed that I slept in was filthy. Black long hair, ear plugs and it smelt like weed. I’ve used this hostel before about a year ago and it appears to have drastically been ran down. The lock on both the front gate and the main entrance don’t work so it is quite literally a free for all.
