The plus points: friendly and helpful staff. Cheap laundry facilities. Clean bed, though parts of the bedroom clearly hadn't been checked - lots of dust on wardrobe, previous people's belongings in the bedside drawer. Clean toilets and bathroom. Soap and towels are provided (at least in our double room). The downsides. It's on top of a pub/bar. This apparently is... More

This hostel is pretty basic, in an old building, could do with a big renovation but so could a lot of hostels! It was clean, warm, secure and the staff were friendly. It is situated over a nice pub and restaurant (you could not hear any extra noise in the room we stayed in). We had a room with a... More

I stayed here in a double room which was very clean. The staff were friendly and helpful and it was a 300metre walk to the train station/tram into the city. There is a pub and restaurant below. The bathroom was exceptionally clean. The only thing I could fault was the creaky floorboards. Decent prices, recommend to all.

This backpackers is overpriced. We had a top floor double room with the following features: 1. Hole in the wall that had not been fixed. 2. Faulty sliding doors with a view onto a huge TV antenna with radiation warning signs. 3. Graffiti on bed slats and behind the picture on the wall. 4. Squeaky, old, torn and uncomfortable mattress....
