Pros (+) Excellent location. Really good breakfast with a lot of choice.
Cons (-) I went for a shower and came back to my room to find my key card no longer worked. I had to go down to reception in my towel to get it sorted. The shower room was flooded. Fitted sheets would be so much better in the rooms, as I had to make my own bed and a flat sheet is a hassle. Who doesn’t have fitted sheets these days?
Pros (+) Room 014 thanks I am comfortable.
Pros (+) Value for money
Cons (-) Bad roommates making noise No substitutional rooms available
Pros (+) The main advantage of the hostel is its good location. For £5, you can book a late check-out until 1 PM.
Cons (-) It's been a rather unpleasant stay. The facilities are poorly maintained. There are only two toilets for a floor with 40 rooms accommodating four people each. The toilets were dirty, and there was no toilet paper. The beds and pillows are very basic and of average quality. The hostel does not have a kitchen or a fridge, nor a microwave. Bedrooms were very small. The hooks on the walls were torn of...

Cons (-) Customer service and bad not change regularly also no provide shower towel It’s not good enough.
Pros (+) The communal area was awesome! A nice mix between bar and cafe
Cons (-) The male toilets and showers on the first floor had no locks, there was a moment when I was in a compromising position holding the door shut, reaching out with my foot. The shower floors were pretty bad too, really dirty. I probably read my booking wrong, but I am shocked that they allow mixed rooms. It was a shock to see a women walk into a 4 bed dorm room with 3 men already in.
Pros (+) location
Cons (-) bathrooms dirty and half of them were blocked off. A lot of children around. Staff not overly helpful
Pros (+) No sure
Cons (-) 4 people in an uncomfortable room
Pros (+) The location was Great
Cons (-) N/A
Pros (+) Staff were friendly and the bed was comfortable.
Cons (-) The lift was out of service for a couple of days.
