Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Particularly friendly and informative staff. I even received access to bathrooms, kitchen & dining room and quiet room for the rest of the day after I had checked out. The only slight negatives I had were finding space in refrigerators in the kitchen to store my stuff, and the fact that guests ignored the request to dry and replace kitchen crockery and utensils after they had rinsed or washed them.

Very good kitchen facilities, good room.

Room was fine for a standard hostel, very basic. We had a private room. Kitchen area was GREAT so many ovens and stove tops, loads of fridges for food......really good. The one thing that drove us INSANE on a 40 degree day, you had to go down to reception to get the AC turned on/off. So we are calling reception at 2am to get it turned off, no one answers, so we have to walk down the stairs at 2am. Just really puffed us off. I understand why they do it, but it meant we were then away till 4am trying to get back to sleep after going downstairs
