Overall, if you're staying in the winter, ask them to turn on the heater before you check in, as it takes a long time to warm up the room. John, the long-term resident, is really great and helpful—he makes everyone feel at home. Thanks, John!
Shared bathroom was always very clean, kitchen was useful, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Great location, just had a bit of trouble getting them to send through details for late check in and the shower I used didn't heat up, but another one did.
Stayed another night on top of original stay as the beds were comfortable, staff friendly and attentive. Lawrence on reception was informative and polite.
Wash rooms cleaned daily, piano in lounge with table tennis and pool tables as well.
I was woken continuously throughout the night by girls in my area and two were sleeping in one bed. I found a man passed out and asleep on a landing, who had spilt a can of alcohol on the carpet. I was quite disappointed with clientele last night.
This was the most disgusting and poorly managed hostel I've ever experienced. The bathrooms looked like they hadn't been cleaned in 20 years - mildew, grime, and hair all over the floor and walls. Same with the rugs and floors. The kitchen is absolute chaos. Management is completely unresponsive and uncaring.
Reviews older than 6months are very much out of date. Rooms are clean, bathrooms freshly remodelled and overall it's a quiet building.
Location is its best quality and there is no elevator so zero accessibility options.
Highlights of my stay were the showers that never run hot (or warm even), stained sheets, a kitchen that never opens, and carpet littered with toenails.
Easy after hour check in,Room was neat,tidy and clean.Shared kitchen and bathroom were cleaner than expected which is a great credit.
Plenty of modern appliances within kitchen too
