Terrible hostel!!! Upon checking in, receptionist was extremely rude and when asked for a bottom bunk said no. But upon checking the room bottom bunks seemed available so I asked him again and he rudely said “I said no once, we close the conversation”. No welcome or have a nice stay. I also said I wasn’t sure which bed was mine. He rudely said “sir, are you okay?” and pointed to the number he wrote on the business card. However, I am attaching a video showing only 2 of 6 beds in Room 105 were marked so he’s the one that is disorganized and should be chastised. I then said he was very rude and I was travelling for 24 hours. He said “you make me laugh”. Really nice and professional isn’t it? Additionally: This place is FILTHY and DIRTY. There was no hand soap in the washrooms on most of all 3 floors, no toilet paper, no mirrors in the toilets on any floors to do your hair, no hair dryers, no towels, and cold water throughout the stay. The sink in Room 105 also wasn’t working as the second video shows. Wifi also wasn’t working well throughout the stay. Finally, dust and dirt is everywhere and coming out of the bathroom fans in huge clumps showing they haven’t cleaned the HVAC in months, if not years. It’s ironic considering the website says “friendly”. The receptionist made me feel unwelcome and unsafe and I was about to leave and go elsewhere.

This maybe would have been fine if it was cheap, but for a private room booking it was comparable to a hotel in price, but way worse in quality. We ended up leaving after a few hours and finding something better. I should have paid more attention to the reviews but the photos are very misleading

You get what you paid for... clean sheets-bathroom as close as it would be in your home, nice balcony to people watch. Very narrow stairs-and no lift. VERY LOUD-from doors shutting and people in the street but you have to leave the glass door open because it's hot. No alcohol allowed in the rooms....ha ha ha ha!

Not true photos avoid !
Stock photos downloaded from the internet so a wee bit of a rip off No real kitchen and a toilet and sink on the third floor that’s described as a shower ! Sockets wired into the lighting system that only works when the lights are switched off . This place is so bad at £57 a night that I was compensated £50 with a goodwill voucher
Hotels outside and hard to find
Room 303 on the third floor, bust telephone dangerously unsafe because of the electrical wiring
A shower which is a toilet and sink
Hallway with work out grubby carpets that stick to your feet

Worst hostel in the world! Deplorable !
This hostel is the worst place I have ever stayed in my life. The entire facility should be condemned. I have no idea how the government allows them to stay open. It is a three story walk up with very narrow and winding stairs. There is NO hot water, NO soap, NO towels, NO internet and NO customer service support. I was charged the same rate as a hotel. The sheets had hair all over them. I had to leave without a refund, as it was so deplorable. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!
