They let me check in early but was impossible to checkout after I saw what I had gotten myself into. The Upside was that I had a 9 bunk bed unit all to myself, no windows and just very creepy dark place right by the staff entrance, laundry, and late night guest access which meant no chance of sleep, expect to get the door knocked on late at nights by somebody who has had one too many and doesn't know where to go (in one instance a staff member just barging in assuming room was empty and perhaps going to crash there). Surrounding area was beautiful to walk to. My reservation was for more than two weeks but I could only bare one night, at this stage I don't even know if I got refunded for anything but it was more confrontable sleeping in the train station the following night until I found something else. Maybe the more expensive units are better but I was not prepared to find out, very terrible costumer service after they had taken my money, spent weeks trying to get some sort of refund back after front desk had promised to refund my credit card in accordance to their policy of 48 hrs notice which meant I would only pay for two nights. after checking out and getting in contact to access the funds the only option they gave me was a gift card to go back to the same place, just a waste, might as well slapped me too. Just terrible, spend a little more and have a nice time in the lovely area or just sleep in the train station as I promise it will be more comfortable.

Noisy room
Booked a suit for one night in order to visit this beautiful city. Desk staff were delightful although they did initially give us the key to someone else’s room! Our suit was large, ornate and spacious but at the end of the building next to the busy main road, there was no A/C so one must choose between noise with windows open or a hot stuffy room. Furthermore, there was no wardrobe, only a curtain between the room and toilet, very dim lighting in the bathroom, faulty lighting above the mirror and thick hard pillows, they also charge for the use of an iron!!

The refrigerator need to be cleaning every week maximum. It is full of old food that people have left there. A lot of food is in the frig with moisture. You have to find a system to make sure that the food will stay save. Your refrigerator was really bad. But the rest of the hostel was clean. The problem is really the refrigerator.

Claustrophobic, dark, dorm room with little air
The property itself is a nice building, centrally located and staff helpful. However, the shared, 4 bed dorm room I was in, was pretty depression. There was no window or any real natural light or ventilation (apart from a grate in the door). The room was very stuffy & dark as a result. The beds were very basic too, with a hard plastic mattress. The shower was also a bit of a dribble at most, which made showering properly tricky & the lack ventilation meant the whole bedroom became humid if someone showered. The rooms smelled on human odours and sweat as a result of the stuffiness. It’s pretty claustrophobic room set-up. Not a fan of this place, but there are very few other places to go in the city for affordable prices.
