Location is perfect Good backpacker hostel vibe Giant flat screen tv with channels Enough things to keep you entertained and occupied Outdoor garden space All you can eat breakfast Tea/coffee station 24/7 Various hangout spaces Some of the staff were friendly Clean as it could be Food was good but slow in preparation & service
No elevator Toilets & bathroom could improve. Not enough space to hang or keep things when you got to shower Taps were annoying Staff could work a bit on being more social, friendly Dorms were not too good. No space to keep things No lockers No power socket per bed Good ok hostel but, I've been to hostels for similar price with better facilities.especially lockers to keep stuff, power sockets and a light per bed. Also although there was a girl at the reception it was the guy who took me to my female dorm. I don't remember seeing or hearing him knocking or anything he just opened the door just like that. I felt very uncomfortable. No privacy..

The breakfast was included which was nice, and the location really close to an underground station was really handy. There is a small supermarket just around the corner.
The overall cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. The bunk beds are incredibly wobbly and creaky, and the overall soundproofing is quite non-existent, so sadly our group slept really badly.
