Price was decent given its location. Staff was friendly. Toilet was also cleaned regularly. Facilities were old. Walls were thin and hence sound penetrated often. Toilets were cleaned regularly but as a result difficult to use as it would be closed for maintenance.

The hostel is well located, next to a large transport station and just 20 minutes walk from the centre. The area is charming. Activities are offered every evening, very nice to get to know each other. The kitchen is very small, we are very quickly cramped.

Cheap, good area Kitchen was too small
