I STAYED only 1 night. The staff was friendly. My only complaint was there was no lift and i had to go to second floor. Ok for young people but i am 75.A lovely French girl carried my luggage up stairs and found my room for me. The room was small but had a clean bed, power points, alarge wall fan and hooks for clothes. The toilets were near and reasonably clean.This was a Saturday night and the room was quiet.dispite the number of people outside attending restaurants etc.

Cheap and cheerful
Well organised hostel, staff really good. Unfortunately guests slam doors and there's a lot of noise from the traffic and extractor fans. Great that you can leave luggage in lockers and kitchen very well equipped. Lots of bathrooms cleaned regularly, did see a couple of cockroaches in corridor. Very handy location just 5 min walk from the train station

Liked: Staff & service
The place was relatively easy to find and it was close to everything that we needed. The room that we stayed in was clean, the bed could have been more sturdy I felt like it was going to break. The common areas were relatively clean. The staff were very helpful and kind
