Rebecca

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The hostel is fine but it needs some major changes I like the idea of having a key to enter the ladies bathroom but having a glass door and a shower curtain as privacy isn’t good enough and there is no where to change unless you go into the shower cubicle which is not big enough for that. I was on a top bunk in room 220 and there was no railing to prevent you from possibly rolling out of bed which I didn’t like. It needs a lot of work doing to make me want to consider staying here again
